Kris能源出售印尼区块的权益

据今日离岸能源10月29日报道称，Kris能源公司周二表示，在考虑到未来勘探成本和与深水作业相关的风险之后，该公司接受了Andaman II PSC区块具有约束力的出售要约书。

“董事会认为，将Kris能源有限的资本用于短期开发是比较谨慎的做法。完成包括其条款在内的出售，除其他外，还必须获得印尼政府的所有必要批准，以转让工作权益，并由意向买家圆满完成尽职调查。”

出售的截止日期为2020年3月31日。要约书中列出的出售条款受某些假设约束，最终买卖协议的执行和交付以及出售的对价将视作仅在完成时付款。

Andaman II PSC是位于北苏门答腊盆地上的一个勘探区块，占地面积7400平方公里。此次出售符合集团降低风险，有意减少未来在勘探资本支出方面的风险以及将有限的财务资源集中于优化其在孟加拉国和泰国湾现有生产资产的运营以及推进柬埔寨A区块Apsara油田开发的战略。

Kris能源公司指出，由于保密义务和出售的条件性质，目前无法披露意向买家的身份和购买价格，但公司将在适当的时候进行披露。

KrisEnergy to dispose of interest in Indonesian block

The binding letter of offer for the disposal was accepted after taking into consideration the future exploration cost and risks associated with deepwater activities, KrisEnergy said on Tuesday.

“The board believes it is more prudent to allocate KrisEnergy’s limited capital to funding near-term development. Completion under the disposal including its terms is subject to inter alia obtaining all necessary approvals from the Government of Indonesia for the assignment of the working interest and the satisfactory completion of due diligence by the intended purchaser,” the company said.

The long stop date for the disposal is March 31, 2020. The terms of the disposal set out in the letter of offer are subject to certain assumptions and the execution and delivery of a definitive sale and purchase agreement and the consideration for the disposal will be payable only upon completion.

The Andaman II PSC is an exploration block over the North Sumatra Basin covering an area of 7,400 sq. km. The disposal is in line with the group’s risk mitigation, intention to reduce future exposure to exploration capital expenditure and strategy to focus its limited financial resources on optimizing operations at its existing producing assets in Bangladesh and the Gulf of Thailand and progressing the development of the Apsara oil field in Cambodia block A.

KrisEnergy noted that, due to confidentiality obligations and the conditional nature of the disposal, the identity of the intended purchaser and the purchase price could not be disclosed at this time but the company would make such disclosure at the appropriate time.
