壳牌将收购斯伦贝谢在瓦卡姆尔塔区块股权

据天然气新闻伦敦报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司和挪威能源巨头Equinor日前表示，他们已同意以3.55亿美元的价格收购斯伦贝谢在阿根廷Bandurria Sur区块的49%股份，并计划在另一笔交易中把他们在这个阿根廷瓦卡姆尔塔页岩油区块中的持股比例提高到60%。

根据另外的声明，两家公司将分别支付1.775亿美元，购买这一面积5.6万英亩区块的24.5%的股权。

总部位于荷兰的壳牌公司和挪威Equinor补充说，他们已经与阿根廷国有企业阿根廷国家石油公司（YPF）达成了一项初步协议，将从拥有51%股权的YPF手中购买该区块11%的股权，从而使他们在该区块的持股比例达到60%。所有权将平分给壳牌公司和Equinor。

斯伦贝谢曾表示，出售业务是其全球战略的一部分，目的是将业务重新聚焦于油田服务，而非生产。

Shell, Equinor buy Schlumberger's stake in Vaca Muerta block

Shell and Equinor said Friday they have agreed to buy Schlumberger's 49% stake in Bandurria Sur for $355 million, adding that they plan to increase their ownership of the shale oil block in Argentina's Vaca Muerta to 60% in a separate deal.

The companies will pay $177.5 million each for 24.5% stakes in the 56,000-acre block, according to separate statements.

The Netherlands-based Shell and Norway's Equinor added that they have entered into a preliminary deal with YPF, Argentina's state-backed company that owns the other 51% of Bandurria Sur, to buy 11% of the block from it, taking their ownership of the block to 60%. The ownership will be divided evenly between Shell and Equinor.

YPSchlumberger has said it is selling as part of a global strategy to refocus its business on oilfield services, not production.
