据彭博社7月31日报道，海牙壳牌公司以9.65亿美元的价格将其在美国墨西哥湾凯撒汤加公司资产中的非经营性权益(22.45%)出售给Equinor。该交易须经监管机构批准租赁转让。
这笔交易代表了壳牌公司对深水业务发展战略定位的关注，也符合其在2020年及以后追求有竞争力项目的战略。此次出售有助于壳牌正在进行的撤资计划。
壳牌拥有领先的深水投资组合，在美国墨西哥湾、巴西、尼日利亚和马来西亚中心地带以及墨西哥、毛里塔尼亚和西黑海等新兴近海盆地拥有令人艳羡的开发漏斗和大范围的勘探面积。壳牌目前是美国墨西哥湾最大的租赁公司，也是主要的海上石油和天然气生产商之一。
2019年4月，壳牌宣布已签署协议，将其股权出售给德莱克信托投资公司。随后，Equinor根据合资经营协议行使其优先购买权。该交易的生效日期为2019年1月1日。
该油田由阿纳达科石油公司经营，持有33.75%的股权。剥离完成后，资产的剩余权益在Equinor (46.0%)和雪佛龙(20.25%)之间分配。
