据原油新闻12月21日消息称，非石油能源集团万浦公司旨在成为领先的技术驱动型天然气勘探和生产领域的领导者，此前领先的投资管理公司橡树资本管理有限公司向万浦在美国的天然气业务部门注资1亿美元。
这家美国公司投资了BKV公司的优先股，万浦持有BKV公司96.3%的股份。
BKV在宾夕法尼亚州的马塞勒斯页岩盆地和德克萨斯州的巴奈特页岩盆地中运营，日产能达7亿立方英尺。
万浦首席执行官Somruedee Chaimongkol表示，此次注资将加快该公司成为天然气勘探和生产领域关键参与者的目标，这符合该公司扩大在美国天然气业务的承诺。从长远来看，该公司计划在美国启动一个天然气发电项目。
Somruedee表示，橡树资本的投资也支持了万浦更绿色、更智能战略下的可持续增长计划。天然气比其他类型的化石燃料更环保。
万浦早些时候表示，将橡树资本视为战略合作伙伴，这笔投资加强了万浦作为可信赖的国际通用能源供应商的形象。
万浦估计，其清洁能源资源和清洁能源发电将占利息、税项、折旧及摊销前利润(Ebitda)的50%，高于目前的20%。该公司表示，另一半将来自燃煤发电和煤矿发电，这两项去年占Ebitda的70%。
万浦的清洁能源相关业务包括可再生能源、储能系统、电动汽车开发和汽车共享平台管理。
Somruedee女士说，在20亿美元的资本支出中，这个行业分配了近90%的资金。

Banpu Keen Banpu Plc, a non-oil energy conglomerate, aims to become a leader in technology-driven natural gas exploration and production after Oaktree Capital Management LP, a leading investment management firm, injected US$100 million in capital into Banpu's gas business unit in the US.
The American company has invested in the preferred stocks of BKV Corporation, which is 96.3% owned by Banpu.
BKV operates in the Marcellus shale basin in Pennsylvania and Barnett shale basin in Texas, with combined production capacity of 700 million cubic feet per day.
Banpu chief executive Somruedee Chaimongkol said the fund injection will accelerate the company's goal to be a key player in natural gas exploration and production, which is in line with its commitment to expanding natural gas business in the US. Over the long term, the company plans to start a gas-to-power project in the US.
Oaktree's investment also supports Banpu's sustainable growth plan under its greener and smarter strategy, said Ms Somruedee. Natural gas is more environmentally friendly than other types of fossil-based fuels.
Banpu said earlier it viewed Oaktree as a strategic partner, with the investment reinforcing Banpu's image as a trusted international versatile energy provider.
Banpu estimated its clean energy resources and clean energy generation will account for 50% of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda), up from 20% at present, in five years. The company said the other half will be generated by coal-fired power generation and coal mines, which accounted for 70% of Ebitda last year.
Banpu's clean energy-related businesses include renewable energy, energy storage systems, electrical vehicle development and car-sharing platform management.
This segment was allocated almost 90% of $2 billion in capital expenditure, said Ms Somruedee.?
