壳牌33亿美元出售加拿大自然资源公司股份

中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社5月8日伦敦报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司同意出售油砂生产商加拿大自然资源公司。

总部位于海牙的壳牌石油公司周一表示，该公司旗下的壳牌天然气集团(Shell Gas)将剥离其在加拿大天然气田的全部股份，税前收益总额为33亿美元。

此次出售服务的双重目的是剥离其最肮脏的资产之一，同时减少对BG集团500亿美元收购后累积的债务。

据一位知情人士透露，这些股票的报价是每股34.10美元。

这是加拿大自然公司周一在纽约收盘价的2.9%的折扣。

在第一季度末，壳牌已经完成了那个260亿美元的项目。

他重新定位了壳牌，以专注于更清洁的天然气，剥离像油砂这样的碳密集型资产。

作为协议的一部分，加拿大自然公司同意发行约40亿加元(31亿美元)的股份给壳牌，用于支付各种资产。

Shell to sell its Canadian Natural Resources stake for $3.3 billion

Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to sell out of oil-sands producer Canadian Natural Resources.

The Anglo-Dutch company’s Shell Gas unit will divest all its shares in Canadian Natural for total pretax proceeds of $3.3 billion, The Hague-based Shell said Monday.

The sale serves the dual purpose of shedding one of its dirtiest assets, while reducing debt accumulated after the $50 billion purchase of BG Group.

The shares are being offered at $34.10 apiece, according to a person familiar with the matter.

That’s a 2.9% discount to Canadian Natural’s close on Monday in New York.

At the end of the first quarter, Shell had completed $26 billion of that program.

He has repositioned Shell to focus on cleaner natural gas, shedding carbon-intensive assets such as oil sands.

As part of that accord, Canadian Natural agreed to issue about C$4 billion ($3.1 billion) of its shares to Shell in payment for various assets.
