BP以56亿美元将阿拉斯加中上游资产售与希尔
据彭博社8月27日伦敦报道,BP宣布,已同意将其在阿拉斯加的全部业务出售给总部位于阿拉斯加安克雷奇的希尔公司。根据协议条款,希尔公司将以56亿美元的总对价购买BP在该州的所有权益。
此次出售将包括BP在该州的全部上游和中游业务,包括拥有BP在阿拉斯加所有上游油气权益的英国石油勘探(阿拉斯加)公司,以及英国石油管道(阿拉斯加)公司在跨阿拉斯加管道系统(TAPS)的权益。
英国石油集团首席执行官鲍勃达德利(Bob Dudley)表示,“半个多世纪以来,阿拉斯加一直是BP成长和成功的关键,我们在那里的工作帮助塑造了整个公司许多人的职业生涯。我们为与我们的合作伙伴和阿拉斯加州一起建立的世界级企业,以及它对阿拉斯加经济和美国能源安全做出的重大贡献感到无比自豪。”
根据协议条款,希尔公司将向BP支付总额为56亿美元的对价,其中包括40亿美元的短期应付款和16亿美元的后续盈余。如果得到该州和联邦监管机构的批准,交易预计将于2020年全部完成。这笔交易是BP在2019年和2020年剥离100亿美元资产计划的重要组成部分。

BP sells Alaska business to Hilcorp for $5.6 billion
BP announced that it has agreed to sell its entire business in Alaska to Hilcorp Alaska, based in Anchorage, Alaska. Under the terms of the agreement, Hilcorp will purchase all of BP's interests in the state for a total consideration of $5.6 billion.
The sale will include BP's entire upstream and midstream business in the state, including BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc., that owns all of BP's upstream oil and gas interests in Alaska, and BP Pipelines (Alaska) Inc.'s interest in the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS).
Bob Dudley, BP group chief executive, said "Alaska has been instrumental in BP's growth and success for well over half a century and our work there has helped shape the careers of many throughout the company. We are extraordinarily proud of the world-class business we have built, working alongside our partners and the State of Alaska, and the significant contributions it has made to Alaska's economy and America's energy security."
Under the terms of the agreement, Hilcorp will pay BP a total consideration of $5.6 billion, comprising $4.0 billion payable near-term and $1.6 billion through an earnout thereafter. Subject to state and federal regulatory approval, the transaction is expected to be completed in 2020. The deal forms a significant part of BP's plan to divest $10 billion of assets over 2019 and 2020.
