据OE网站11月3日报道,英国石油天然气公司凯恩能源公司(Cairn)已将其在英国北海Catcher和Kraken油田的权益出售给华尔道夫(Waldorf)生产公司。
这项拟议的出售和收购交易于今年3月首次宣布,在2021年10月28日举行的股东大会之后,凯恩能源周三宣布交易完成。
根据协议,凯恩能源出售了其在Catcher油田20%的非经营性权益和Kraken油田29.5%的权益。
凯恩能源表示,应支付给凯恩能源的公司对价为4.55亿美元,将根据2020年1月1日起的经济日期的营运资本和中期现金流进行调整。
在2021年-2025年间,当布伦特原油的均价超过52美元/桶时,华尔道夫将支付额外的、无上限的或有对价。
凯恩表示,假设产量符合凯恩的预测,按60美元/桶布伦特价格计算,该或有对价预计将再产生约1亿美元,按70美元/桶布伦特价格计算,将产生1.75亿美元,按80美元/桶布伦特价格计算,将产生2.4亿美元。
据路透社报道,截至周三格林威治时间7点24分,布伦特原油期货价格下跌1.03美元,跌幅1.2%,至每桶83.69美元。
华尔道夫生产公司表示,在Kraken和Catcher的权益增加后,该公司资产的平均日产量达到2.2万桶油当量,截至2020年底,2P储量增至5200万桶油当量。

Cairn Sells North Sea Field Interests to Waldorf
Oil and gas company Cairn has sold its interest in the Catcher and Kraken oil fields in the UK North Sea to Waldorf Production.
The proposed sale and purchase deal was first announced in March, and following the general meeting held align="justify"> Under the deal, Cairn sold its entire non-operated 20 percent interest in the Catcher field and 29.5 percent interest in the Kraken field.
Cairn said that firm consideration payable to Cairn is US$455 million, to be adjusted for working capital and interim period cashflows from the economic date of January 1, 2020.
Waldorf will pay additional, uncapped contingent consideration when Brent exceeds US$52/bbl align="justify"> "Assuming production is in line with Cairn forecasts, this contingent consideration is expected to generate approximately a further US$100 million at US$60/bbl Brent prices, US$175 million at US$70/bbl Brent prices, and US$240 million at US$80/bbl Brent prices," Cairn said.
According to Reuters, Brent crude futures fell $1.03, or 1.2%, to $83.69 a barrel by 0724 GMT Wednesday.
"The addition of the interests in Kraken and Catcher brings the average production from the Company’s assets up to circa 22,000 boe per day and increases 2P reserves to 52 million boe as of year-end 2020," Waldorf Production said.
