据路透社9月4日伦敦报道，银行消息来源和收购基金一家子公司的一名高管表示，Antin基础设施合作伙伴已聘请投资银行，启动一项超过15亿美元的潜在销售。

凯拉斯中游公司董事总经理安迪·赫塞尔告诉路透社，在美国银行美林证券和花旗银行的帮助下，中央区传输系统(CATS)的出售预计将在未来12个月内完成，该系统是一条250英里长的管道，将天然气从北海油田群输送到英国北部的提塞德。

凯拉斯中游是管理CATS的Antin子公司，银行消息人士称，该子公司的销售额可能超过15亿美元。

Antin是一家私人股本基金，主要专注于欧洲能源、运输和电信投资。2014年至2015年间，Antin从天然气生产商英国天然气公司(现为荷兰皇家壳牌公司的一部分)和英国石油公司收购了CATS。它拥有其99%的业务，意大利的埃尼公司和美国的康菲石油公司分享剩余的1%。

Antin Infrastructure hires banks to sell UK gas pipeline

Antin Infrastructure Partners has hired investment banks to kick-start a potential $1.5 billion-plus sale of one of Britain's biggest gas pipelines, banking sources and an executive at a subsidiary of the buyout fund said.

The sale of Central Area Transmission System (CATS), a 250-mile pipeline that transports gas from a cluster of North Sea fields to Teesside in northern England, is expected over the next 12 months with the help of Bank of America-Merrill Lynch and Citi, Andy Hessel, managing director at Kellas Midstream, told Reuters.

Kellas Midstream is the Antin subsidiary that manages CATS, which banking sources said could fetch more than $1.5 billion.

Antin, a private equity fund that mostly specialises in European energy, transport and telecoms investments, bought CATS from gas producer BG, now part of Royal Dutch Shell, and BP between 2014 and 2015. It owns 99% of the business, with Italy's Eni and U.S. ConocoPhillips sharing the remaining 1%.
