马拉松石油以90亿美元合并中游业务

中国石化新闻网讯 据美联社俄亥俄州5月8日消息称，马拉松石油公司将以90亿美元的价格合并旗下两家油气管道、运输和存储业务。

MPLX和Andeavour Logistics都是由马拉松持有多数股份的合资公司，这增加了它可能在去年年底合并两家公司的可能性。

这笔交易的企业价值为140亿美元，计划在今年下半年完成。

马拉松石油公司董事长兼首席执行官加里?海明格表示：“合并后的公司将扩大地域覆盖范围，我们相信这将增强我们的长期增长机会和业务的可持续现金流状况我们相信，在美国最好的盆地中，通过这一综合平台，将存在中游增长和价值创造的机会。”

低油价正在推动能源行业的整合努力。除了马拉松的行为，阿纳达科石油公司一直是雪佛龙和西方石油公司竞购战的主题。阿纳达科石油公司周一宣布，计划终止与雪佛龙330亿美元的收购交易，转而接受西方石油公司修改后的报价。

Andeavor原名Tesoro，在加州、明尼苏达州、新墨西哥州、北达科他州、德克萨斯州、犹他州、华盛顿州和阿拉斯加州都有炼油厂。这些公司都位于俄亥俄州芬德利。

Marathon Petroleum Combines Midstream Operations for $9 Billion

Marathon Petroleum Corp. is merging two of its oil and gas pipeline, transportation and storage operations for $9 billion.

MPLX and Andeavor Logistics are both master limited partnerships majority owned by Marathon, which raised the possibility that it might combine the two late last year.

The enterprise value of the deal is listed at $14 billion, and it The is targeted to close in the second half of the year.

“The combined entity will have an expanded geographic footprint which we believe enhances our long-term growth opportunities and the sustainable cash flow profile of the business, said Marathon Chairman and CEO Gary Heminger. “We are confident about the midstream growth and value-creation opportunities that exist across this combined platform in the best basins in the U.S.”

Low oil prices are helping to push consolidation efforts along in the energy sector. Aside from Marathon’s actions, Anadarko Petroleum has been the subject of a bidding war between Chevron and Occidental Petroleum. Anadarko announced Monday that it plans to end its $33 billion takeover deal with Chevron in favor of a revised bid by Occidental.

Andeavor, formerly known as Tesoro, has refineries in California, Minnesota, New Mexico, North Dakota, Texas, Utah, Washington and Alaska. The companies are all based in Findlay, Ohio.
