壳牌将阿拉巴马炼油厂出售给顶点能源公司

中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工新闻5月28日消息称，荷兰皇家壳牌公司旗下子公司壳牌石油公司和壳牌化学有限责任公司达成一项协议，将位于阿拉巴马州莫比尔的莫比尔化工公司炼油厂出售给顶点能源运营有限责任公司。顶点能源公司是一家美国独资公司，总部位于德克萨斯州，专业提炼替代原料和销售高纯石油产品。

此次撤资是壳牌战略的一部分，目的是将其全球炼油厂的足迹减少到与公司的交易中心、化工厂和营销业务整合在一起的核心站点。这些高价值的能源和化工园区将为其客户生产更多的低碳燃料和专用化学品。

壳牌制造部门执行副总裁Robin Mooldijk说：“莫比尔精炼厂的出售表明我们在实现制造战略方面取得了良好的进展。我们正处于更好的位置，以提供可观的回报并满足客户日益多样化的需求。”

“该协议涵盖了莫比尔精炼厂和相关的位于同一地点的物流基础设施的销售，包括产品架、相关的码头和布莱克利岛终端。这笔交易的代价是7500万美元的现金加上碳氢化合物库存的价值。该交易预计在2021年第四季度完成，但需获得监管部门的批准。

Shell sells Alabama refinery to Vertex Energy

Shell Oil Products US, Shell Oil Co. and Shell Chemical LP, subsidiaries of Royal Dutch Shell plc (Shell), have reached an agreement for the sale of the Mobile Chemical LP refinery in Mobile, Alabama, to Vertex Energy Operating LLC (Vertex Energy). Vertex Energy is a US-owned, Texas-based specialty refiner of alternative feedstocks and marketer of high purity petroleum products.

The divestment is part of Shell’s strategy to reduce its global refinery footprint to core sites integrated with the company’s trading hubs, chemicals plants and marketing businesses. These high-value energy and chemicals parks will produce more low-carbon fuels and specialty chemicals for its customers.

“The sale of the Mobile refinery shows that we are making good progress delivering on our manufacturing strategy,” said Robin Mooldijk, Shell’s EVP for Manufacturing. “We’re becoming better positioned to deliver resilient returns and meet the increasingly diverse needs of our customers.”

“The agreement covers the sale of the Mobile refinery and associated co-located logistics infrastructure, including product racks, an associated dock, and the Blakeley Island terminal. The consideration for this transaction is US$75 million in cash plus the value of the hydrocarbon inventory. This transaction is expected to close in Q421, subject to regulatory approvals.
