据美国彭博新闻社12月9日巴黎报道,熟悉此事的消息人士说,欧洲最大的油田服务提供商法国德西尼布公司时下正与美国同行FMC技术公司举行合并谈判。
这些因信息秘密而要求不被识别的消息人士说,在今年年初已组建一家合资企业的两家公司之间的谈判如今已进入最后阶段,而这笔交易可能在今年年底前对外宣布。
消息人士说,谈判迄今还没有达成任何最后协议,而谈判仍可能会陷入僵局。
在油价暴跌已导致客户削减新项目并给供应商增加压力的时候,德西尼布公司和FMC技术公司的合并将组成欧洲最大的石油服务提供商以及这个行业中最大的海底设备提供商。
FMC技术公司在其股票今年下跌了35%以后仍具有大约69亿美元的市场价值,而股票今年迄今已下跌8.2%的德西尼布公司仍拥有大约58亿美元的市值。

Technip, FMC Technologies Said to Be in Advanced Merger Talks
Bloomberg
Wednesday, December 09, 2015
Technip SA, Europe’s largest oilfield- services provider, is in talks to merge with U.S. peer FMC Technologies Inc., people familiar with the matter said.
Negotiations between the two companies, who formed a joint venture earlier this year, are at an advanced stage and a transaction may be announced before the end of 2015, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. No final deal has been reached and talks may still fall apart, they said.
Combining FMC and Technip would bring together the largest provider of subsea equipment to the industry with Europe’s biggest oil-services provider, at a time when the slump in oil prices has led customers to cut new projects and put pressure on suppliers. FMC has a market value of about $6.9 billion, after its shares fell more than 35 percent this year. Technip, which is down 8.2 percent year-to-date, is valued at about $5.8 billion.
