據(jù)世界石油1月21日消息稱，據(jù)咨詢公司 Rystad Energy AS 稱，去年天然氣和石油價格的猛漲推動該行業(yè)的并購達(dá)到三年高點，而且看不到放緩的跡象。

Rystad 在周五的一份研究報告中表示，去年全球上游交易總額達(dá)到 1810 億美元，比 2020 年的水平增加了 70%，當(dāng)時活動因疫情而枯竭。北美的交易保持領(lǐng)先地位，其次是歐洲。

它表示，2021 年天然氣交易占所有交易資源的 56%，高于一年前的 43%，并補(bǔ)充說并購“在可預(yù)見的未來可能會保持活躍”。

隨著主要的國際石油生產(chǎn)商尋求碳密集程度較低的業(yè)務(wù)，將資產(chǎn)出售給仍愿意使用化石燃料的小型生產(chǎn)商，油氣交易已有所增加。

根據(jù)Rystad的數(shù)據(jù)，這些石油巨頭在2021年剝離資源方面最為積極。“在獲取資源方面，排名靠前的是獨立中型公司，”該公司表示。

Oil and gas price rallies drive M&A activity to three-year high

Last year’s blistering rally in natural gas and oil prices pushed mergers and acquisitions in the sector to a three-year high with no slowdown in sight, according to consultant Rystad Energy AS.

Global upstream deals reached a total of $181 billion last year, a 70% increase over 2020 levels when activity dried up due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Rystad said in a research report on Friday. Dealings in North America maintained their leadership, followed by Europe.

Gas deals accounted for 56% of all traded resources in 2021, up from 43% a year earlier, it said, adding that M&A “is likely to stay active for the foreseeable future.”

Oil and gas deals have picked up as major international producers are looking to less carbon-intensive operations, selling assets to smaller players that are still willing to work with fossil fuels.

The majors were the most aggressive in divesting resources in 2021, according to Rystad. “The top segment in terms of acquiring resources was public independents,” it said.
