据国外媒体4月26日伦敦报道,北海油气公司伊萨卡能源公司和匈牙利油气集团(MOL)日前表示,伊萨卡能源公司已同意以6000万美元的价格把其在挪威的业务出售给匈牙利MOL公司,这意味着匈牙利能源巨头将进入挪威的石油市场。
伊萨卡能源公司在挪威的业务包括挪威海的14份许可证,伊萨卡能源公司担任其中3份许可证的作业者。伊萨卡能源公司承诺在2015-2016年期间钻取3口勘探井。
作为在2003年购买Valiant石油公司的一部分,伊萨卡能源公司收购了挪威业务。伊萨卡能源公司将利用来自此次出售的收入来支付债务。
这笔将从今年1月1日算起的交易预计在今年第三季度结束。

Ithaca Agrees to Sell Norwegian Business to Hungary's MOL
LONDON, April 26 – North Sea oil and gas company Ithaca Energy has agreed to sell its Norwegian business to Hungary's MOL for $60 million, the companies said on Friday, marking the Hungarian company's entry into Norway's oil market.
Ithaca's Norwegian business includes 14 licences in the Norwegian North Sea, three of which are operated by the unit, and it has committed to drilling three exploration wells in 2015-16.
Ithaca, which had acquired the Norwegian business as part of its purchase of Valiant Petroleum in 2003, will use the proceeds from the sale to pay off debt, it said.
The transaction, which will be backdated to Jan. 1, 2015, is expected to close in the third quarter.
