据能源经济12月2日消息称,意大利能源集团埃尼集团与西班牙天然气公司Naturgy和埃及合作伙伴达成协议,以解决其在埃及北部拥有的一家关闭的天然气厂的纠纷。
埃尼集团周二在一份声明中称,新协议将为位于港口城市杜姆亚特液化天然气(LNG)工厂在明年第一季度前恢复运营铺平道路。
Naturgy在另一份声明中称,根据该协议,公司将收到总计约6亿美元的现金支付,交易完成后,公司将离开埃及,并结束与埃尼集团的合资企业。
埃尼集团是非洲最大的外国油气生产商之一,2015年发现了埃及最大的天然气田Zohr,并在地中海拥有其他资产。
与其它石油巨头一样,埃尼也在寻求脱碳,并将液化天然气和天然气视为转型过程中的重要资源。
杜姆亚特工厂80%的股份由埃尼和Naturgy的合资企业诺萨联合天然气公司(UFG)拥有,其余股份平均分配给埃及天然气控股公司(EGAS)和埃及通用石油公司(EGPC)。
根据周二达成的协议,该工厂将由埃尼集团(Eni)持股50%,EGAS持股40%,EGPC持股10%。
埃尼集团还表示,将接管UFG在西班牙的天然气销售业务,以增强其在欧洲市场的影响力。

Eni strikes deals to reopen Egypt's Damietta LNG plant
Italian energy group Eni has struck deals with Spanish gas firm Naturgy and Egyptian partners to resolve disputes over a shuttered gas plant it part owns in northern Egypt.
Eni said in a statement Naturgy said in a separate statement that it will receive a series of cash payments totalling around $600 million under the deal, which when completed will result in its departure from Egypt and the end of its joint venture with Eni.
Eni, Like other majors, Eni is looking to decarbonise and sees LNG and gas as important resources in that transition.
The Damietta plant was 80 per cent owned by Union Fenosa Gas (UFG), a joint venture between Eni and Naturgy, with the rest split evenly between the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) and Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC).
Under Tuesday's agreement, the plant will be 50 per cent owned by Eni, 40 per cent by EGAS and 10 per cent by EGPC.
Eni also said it would take over UFG's marketing of natural gas in Spain, bolstering its presence in the European market.
