据天然气新闻2021年4月26日报道,根据4月26日宣布的一份非约束性谅解备忘录(MoU),以色列德勒克钻井公司同意向阿联酋穆巴达拉石油公司出售其位于以色列海上的塔马尔大气田22%的股份。
以色列德勒克钻井公司必须在今年年底之前出售其在雪佛龙公司运营的塔马尔大气田中持有的股份。塔马尔大气田气在2013年开始生产天然气。根据以色列政府的一个框架,以色列天然气行业将向竞争对手开放。德勒克钻井公司还持有以色列更大的列维坦大气田45.3%的股份。
德勒克钻井公司在4月26日的一份声明中表示,该公司将与穆巴达拉石油公司合作,在5月31日前“迅速”敲定一份最终协议。
德勒克钻井公司表示,该公司在此之前不会与任何其他方就出售塔马尔大气田22%的股份达成任何协议。
如果最终协议敲定,与穆巴达拉石油公司的交易将是阿联酋和以色列在2020年8月签署的正常化条约之后最大的商业协议。
德勒克钻井公司表示,穆巴达拉石油公司将为这22%股份支付至多11亿美元,其中包括10亿美元的无条件支付和至多1亿美元的附带支付,前提是满足某些条款和目标。
这笔交易还包括德勒克钻井公司在达利特天然气租约中22%的股份。

Israel's Delek Drilling signs MOU for sale of Tamar gas field stake to UAE's Mubadala
Israel's Delek Drilling has agreed the sale of its 22% stake in the Tamar gas field offshore Israel with the UAE's Mubadala Petroleum under a non-binding memorandum of understanding announced April 26.
Delek must sell its stake in the Chevron-operated Tamar -- which began producing gas in 2013 -- by the end of this year under a government framework to open the Israeli gas sector to competition. Delek also has a 45.3% stake in the larger Leviathan gas field.
In a statement April 26, Delek said it would work with Mubadala to finalize a definitive agreement "expeditiously" by May 31.
It said it would not enter into any agreement with any other party for the sale of the 22% Tamar stake until that date.
If finalized, the transaction with Mubadala would be the largest commercial agreement following the normalization treaty between the UAE and Israel signed in August 2020.
Delek said Mubadala would pay up to $1.1 billion for the stake, consisting of an unconditional payment of $1 billion and a contingent payment of up to $100 million subject to certain terms and goals being met.
The deal would also include Delek's 22% stake in the Dalit gas lease.
