據路透社5月20日消息，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司近日同意以4.6億美元出售菲律賓一處海上天然氣田股份，作為其壓縮油氣業務戰略的一部分。

　　殼牌將向烏代納(Udenna)集團子公司出售服務合同38（SC38）區塊的45%股份。SC38是一份包括馬蘭帕亞在產天然氣田的深水牌照，烏代納集團已擁有其45%股份。

　　殼牌在一份聲明中表示，此次交易的基本對價是3.8億美元，根據資產績效和大宗商品價格，將在2022-2024年期間額外支付8000萬美元。

　　協議將于2021年底完成。

　　菲律賓能源部數據顯示，1991年發現的馬蘭帕亞天然氣田目前為發電廠提供燃料，滿足該國約五分之一的電力需求。

　　馬蘭帕亞石油產量正在下降，菲律賓能源部預計其將于2027年枯竭。

　　烏代納集團2019年斥資5.65億美元從雪佛龍公司收購馬蘭帕亞45%股份，此次占股比例將翻倍。

　　菲律賓國家石油公司持有剩余10%股份。

　　去年，烏代納集團曾表示有興趣購買殼牌股份，當時公司發言人德雷蒙· 索瑞拉表示馬蘭帕亞“是對國家未來福祉與能源安全具有戰略意義的優質資產”。

　　除天然氣儲量外，馬蘭帕亞資產還包括海底管道和其他設施，這些設施可供進口LNG的未來賣家與用戶使用。

　　菲律賓需要在馬蘭帕亞枯竭之前進口LNG。政府已經批準了馬蘭帕亞平臺附近多個LNG進口終端項目。

　　Shell exits Philippine gas field in $460 mln deal

　　Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to sell its stake in an offshore gas field in the Philippines for $460 million as part of its strategy to narrow its oil and gas operations.

　　Shell sold its 45% stake in Service Contract 38 (SC38), a deep water licence which includes the producing Malampaya gas field, to a subsidiary of the Udenna Group which already holds a 45% stake in the project.

　　The base consideration for the sale is $380 million, with additional payments of up to $80 million between 2022 to 2024 contingent on asset performance and commodity prices, Shell said in a statement.

　　The deal is due to complete by the end of 2021.

　　The Philippines' Malampaya gas field, discovered in 1991, currently supplies fuel to power plants that deliver about a fifth of the country's electricity requirements, based on energy ministry data.

　　Malampaya's output is declining, with the Philippines' energy ministry expecting it to run dry by 2027.

　　Philippine conglomerate Udenna, will double its interest in Malampaya, having bought the first 45% stake from Chevron in 2019 for $565 million.

　　State-owned Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) holds the remaining 10%.

　　Udenna had expressed an interest in buying Shell's stake last year, when company spokesman Raymond Zorrilla described Malampaya as "a high-quality asset strategic to the future welfare and energy security of the country."

　　Aside from gas reserves, Malampaya's assets include undersea pipelines and other facilities that could be tapped by future sellers and users of imported liquefied natural gas.

　　The Philippines will need to import LNG before Malampaya runs dry. The government has approved several LNG import terminal projects near the Malampaya platform.
