据离岸工程网6月21日报道，埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)正与罗马尼亚天然气公司(Romgaz)进行谈判，以出售其罗马尼亚子公司埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)罗马尼亚勘探与生产公司(ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania)的所有股份。
双方已经签订了相关的独家经营协议。该协议有效期为4个月，有效期至2021年10月15日。
根据Neptun Deep 天然气项目承租协议，埃克森美孚罗马尼亚勘探生产公司拥有该项目50%的权利和义务，该项目计划在黑海罗马尼亚段开发。
Neptune Deep海上天然气项目的另一个合作伙伴是奥地利能源公司OMV的子公司OMV Petrom，该公司持有剩余50%的股份。
这笔最新交易是在 Romgaz 今年早些时候提出具有约束力的要约以购买埃克森美孚在 Neptun Deep 项目中的股份之后达成的。
由于国家的监管变化和全球油气价格低迷，埃克森美孚打算出售该深水海上气田开发项目的股权。
2008年，该公司与OMV Petrom成立了一家勘探合资企业，收购了该区块的股权。
从那时起，埃克森美孚购买Neptun Deep 区块购买了超过3000平方公里的3D地震数据，这些数据包含在 100m-1,700m 的水深范围内。
尽管2012年通过钻第一口Domino-1深井证实了该区块存在天然气，但Neptun Deep区块仍未开发。
据估计，该区块的天然气资源约为420亿-840亿立方米。
Neptun Deep海上天然气项目的技术和商业可行性尚未确定。

ExxonMobil in talks with Romgaz to sell Romanian subsidiary
ExxonMobil is in exclusive talks with Romgaz to divest all the shares in its Romanian subsidiary ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania.
A related exclusivity agreement has been signed between the two parties. The agreement is effective for a four-month period and is valid until 15 October 2021.
ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania own 50% of the rights and obligations under the concession agreement in the Neptun Deep gas project, which has been planned to be developed in the Romanian part of the Black Sea.
The other partner in the Neptun Deep offshore gas project is Austrian energy company OMV’s subsidiary OMV Petrom, which holds the remaining 50% interest.
The latest deal follows a binding offer made by Romgaz earlier this year to purchase ExxonMobil’s stake in the Neptun Deep project.
ExxonMobil intends to divest the stake in the deepwater offshore gas field development project due to the country’s regulatory changes and low oil and gas prices globally.
The firm acquired a stake in the block in 2008 while forming an exploration joint venture with OMV Petrom.
Since then, ExxonMobil purchased more than 3000km² of 3D seismic data over the Neptun Deep Block, which is contained in water depths ranging from 100m-1,700m.
Although the presence of natural gas at the block was confirmed in 2012 by drilling the first deepwater well Domino-1, the Neptun Deep block remained undeveloped.
As per the estimates, the block contains natural gas resources of approximately 42 billion cubic metres (bcm) to 84bcm.
The technical and commercial viability of the Neptun Deep offshore gas project is yet to be established.
