巴西计划出售主要炼油资产以获得180亿美元

据今日油价11月25日报道称，巴西国家石油公司在一份声明中表示，该公司正在启动其指定用于撤资的八家炼油厂中的四个炼油厂的销售绑定阶段。

巴西国家石油公司表示，那些有资格进入绑定阶段的潜在买家将收到一封详细说明有关撤资程序的信函信，其中包括尽职调查指南和绑定提案的提交。

4月下旬，巴西国家石油公司批准出售 8家炼油厂作为其撤资计划的一部分。今年5月，这家能源公司表示，已与巴西反垄断监管机构达成了一项协议，允许其以竞标的形式出售这些下游资产，以鼓励该行业的更大竞争。

在第一个绑定阶段的四家炼油厂是伯南布哥州的RNEST，日产能为13万桶，占巴西炼油总产能的5％；巴伊亚州的RLAM，日产能为33.3万桶，占巴西炼油总产能的14％；位于巴拉那州的REPAR，日产能为20.8万桶；以及南里奥格兰德州的REFAP，日产能为20.8万桶。

今年8月，有报道称几家石油巨头以及世界顶级大宗商品交易商都在竞购这八家炼油厂，而巴西政府希望将这8家炼油厂私有化。

路透社报道称，竞标者包括嘉能可、托克和维托尔、以及一直致力于在国际上建立下游业务的沙特阿美公司。

Brazil Aims For $18 Billion From Its Sale Of Key Refinery Assets

Petrobras is launching the binding phase of the sale of four refineries out of eight that it has earmarked for divestment, the Brazilian state-held energy firm said in a statement.

The potential buyers that had qualified for the binding phase will receive a letter with details on the divestment process, including guidance for due diligence and filing of binding proposals, Petrobras said.

In late April, Petrobras approved the sale of eight refineries as part of its divestment plan. In May, the energy firm struck a deal with the Brazilian antitrust regulator that will allow it to sell those downstream assets in a bid, the company said, to encourage greater competition in the industry.

The four refineries in the this first binding phase are RNEST in Pernambuco state with a processing capacity of 130,000 bpd, or 5 percent of Brazil’s total oil refining capacity; RLAM in the state of Bahia with capacity of 333,000 bpd, or 14 percent of Brazil’s total oil refining capacity; REPAR in the Paraná state with capacity of 208,000 bpd; and REFAP in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, also with 208,000-bpd capacity.

In August, reports emerged that the world’s top commodity traders along with several oil majors are among the bidders for the eight refineries that the Brazilian government wants to privatize.

Glencore, Trafigura, and Vitol are all among the bidders, as well as Saudi Aramco, which has been working on building its downstream footprint internationally, Reuters reported.
