据路透社奥斯陆报道，挪威石油公司Okea星期五表示，为进一步扩张提供资金，该公司正在申请在奥斯陆证交所上市，并预计它们将在6月底开始交易。
Sparebank 1市场（其中一家向该公司提供咨询的投资银行）表示，Okea的目标是在首次公开募股（IPO）中筹集约1亿美元，该公司的市值可能高达4.2亿美元。
Okea成立于2015年，泰国Bangchak公司拥有49.3%的股份，私人股本公司Seacrest资本公司拥有34.98%。他们表示，股东可能会出售部分股票，但计划继续作为主要投资者。
Seacrest资本合伙人Paul Murray在接受路透社电话采访时说：“我们希望为这家公司的增长提供资金。无论是Seacrest公司，还是Bangchak公司，都没有计划大幅减持股份，即使我们可能出售少量股份，这也是次要的想法。”
Bangchak表示，它将Okea视为一项长期投资，并致力于支持该公司的进一步增长。
在2019年第一季度，该公司每天生产约19500桶石油当量，而一年前只有369桶石油当量，得益于壳牌收购挪威两处油田的股份。
Okea还拥有西班牙雷普索尔运营的Yme油田15%的股份，该油田预计将于明年开始生产，为该公司增加6000桶石油当量的净产量。
Murray表示，Okea的目标是在未来几年将产量增长到100000桶石油当量，但拒绝透露更多细节。
Okea是由挪威前石油部长Ola Borten Moe和三个商业伙伴共同创立的，他们仍然拥有3.78%的共同股份。

Norwegian oil company Okea ASA is applying to list its shares Okea aims to raise about $100 million in the initial public offering (IPO) and the company could be valued at up to $420 million, said Sparebank 1 Markets,Founded in 2015, Okea is 49.3% owned by Thailand’s Bangchak Corporation with private equity firm Seacrest Capital owning 34.98%.
Its owners may sell some of their shares but plan to remain major investors, they said.
“We want to finance this company for growth,” Seacrest Capital partner Paul Murray told Reuters in a telephone interview.
“Neither Seacrest Capital, nor Bangchak Corporation are planning to reduce their stakes significantly ... Even if we might sell a small stake, it’s a secondary thought,” he said.
Bangchak said it viewed Okea as a long-term investment and was committed to supporting the company’s further growth.
The company produced about 19,500 barrels of oil equivalents per day (boed) in the first quarter of 2019, compared with Okea also has a 15 percent stake in the Repsol-operated Yme field, which is expected to start production next year, adding a net 6,000 boed to the company’s production.
Seacrest’s Murray said Okea’s ambition was to grow its production towards 100,000 boed in the next several years, declining to give more details.
Okea was co-founded by former Norwegian Oil Minister Ola Borten Moe and three business associates, who still retain a combined ownership of 3.78 percent.
