中国石化新闻网讯 据管道新闻11月16日消息称，EIG周三表示，EIG与布鲁克菲尔德资产管理公司合作，以155亿澳元（105亿美元）的价格收购澳大利亚的Origin Energy，希望利用这笔交易帮助建立一家全球液化天然气公司。
根据上周宣布的拟议收购，EIG的MidOcean Energy将收购Origin的综合天然气业务，包括其在昆士兰州液化天然气项目澳大利亚太平洋液化天然气（APLNG）的27.5%股份。
EIG在以108亿美元收购Santos Ltd STO时受挫后，至少三年来一直在关注APLNG的股份。AX于2018年成立，目标是打造一家面向日本、韩国等客户的全球液化天然气公司。
APLNG的吸引力在于它与日本关西电力(Kansai Electric)等签订了长期供货合同。
“对我们来说，真正吸引我们的是出口量和合同。这并不是为了操纵澳大利亚国内的天然气价格。”EIG首席执行官布莱尔托马斯在利雅得接受电话采访时告诉路透社。

EIG Targets Australia's Origin to Build Global LNG Company
EIG, teaming with Brookfield Asset Management in a A$15.5 billion ($10.5 billion) bid to split Australia's Origin Energy, is looking to use the deal to help build a global LNG company, its boss said>Under the proposed buyout announced last week, EIG's MidOcean Energy would acquire Origin's integrated gas business including its 27.5% stake in Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG), an LNG project in Queensland state.
EIG has been eyeing the APLNG stake for at least three years, after being thwarted in a $10.8 billion bid for Santos Ltd STO.AX in 2018, aiming to create a global LNG company targeting customers in Japan, South Korea etc.
APLNG's appeal is its long-term contracts to supply Japan's Kansai Electric and etc.
"Really the attraction for us are the export volumes and the contracts. This is not meant to be a play on domestic gas pricing in Australia," EIG Chief Executive Blair Thomas told Reuters in an interview by phone from Riyadh.
