中國石化新聞網訊 據管道新聞11月16日消息稱，EIG周三表示，EIG與布魯克菲爾德資產管理公司合作，以155億澳元（105億美元）的價格收購澳大利亞的Origin Energy，希望利用這筆交易幫助建立一家全球液化天然氣公司。

根據上周宣布的擬議收購，EIG的MidOcean Energy將收購Origin的綜合天然氣業務，包括其在昆士蘭州液化天然氣項目澳大利亞太平洋液化天然氣（APLNG）的27.5%股份。

EIG在以108億美元收購Santos Ltd STO時受挫后，至少三年來一直在關注APLNG的股份。AX于2018年成立，目標是打造一家面向日本、韓國等客戶的全球液化天然氣公司。

APLNG的吸引力在于它與日本關西電力(Kansai Electric)等簽訂了長期供貨合同。

“對我們來說，真正吸引我們的是出口量和合同。這并不是為了操縱澳大利亞國內的天然氣價格。”EIG首席執行官布萊爾托馬斯在利雅得接受電話采訪時告訴路透社。

EIG Targets Australia's Origin to Build Global LNG Company

EIG, teaming with Brookfield Asset Management in a A$15.5 billion ($10.5 billion) bid to split Australia's Origin Energy, is looking to use the deal to help build a global LNG company, its boss said on Wednesday.

Under the proposed buyout announced last week, EIG's MidOcean Energy would acquire Origin's integrated gas business including its 27.5% stake in Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG), an LNG project in Queensland state.

EIG has been eyeing the APLNG stake for at least three years, after being thwarted in a $10.8 billion bid for Santos Ltd STO.AX in 2018, aiming to create a global LNG company targeting customers in Japan, South Korea etc.

APLNG's appeal is its long-term contracts to supply  Japan's Kansai Electric and etc.

"Really the attraction for us are the export volumes and the contracts. This is not meant to be a play on domestic gas pricing in Australia," EIG Chief Executive Blair Thomas told Reuters in an interview by phone from Riyadh.
