據7月25日能源之聲報道稱，殼牌最終同意出售其在印尼近海Masela許可證中35%的股份，該許可證包括阿巴迪天然氣項目。

印尼公司Pertamina Hulu Energy和馬來西亞國家石油公司將從殼牌上游海外服務公司（SUOS）購買股份。殼牌將獲得3.25億美元，另一筆3.25億加元的或有付款將根據最終投資決定（FID）到期支付。

馬來西亞國家石油公司將持有Masela 15%的股份，而Pertamina將持有20%的股份。

此次出售的生效日期為2023年1月1日。殼牌表示，預計本季度將完成出售。它將需要印尼能源和礦產資源部的批準。

殼牌曾支持在Masela許可證上安裝一個大型浮式液化天然氣項目的計劃，但印尼政府拒絕了這一提議。印度尼西亞更喜歡陸上設施，這將創造更多的國內就業機會。

阿巴迪離岸約150公里。殼牌綜合天然氣和上游總監表示，“出售Masela PSC股份的決定符合我們對資本紀律的關注。我們要感謝所有利益相關者，特別是印尼政府在整個銷售過程中給予的支持。殼牌在印尼仍很活躍，并繼續為該國的能源轉型之旅積極助力”。

馬來西亞國家石油公司總裁兼首席執行官Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik表示，“此次收購標志著印尼國家石油公司在印尼投資組合擴張的一個重要里程碑。我們的參與強調了支持印尼到2030年實現每天100萬桶石油和每天120億標準立方英尺天然氣生產目標的承諾” 。

日本Inpex公司在Masela生產分成合同（PSC）中擁有65%的未償股份，也是運營商。殼牌于2011年收購了Masela的股份。

擬建陸上液化天然氣工廠的年產能為950萬噸，它還將包括一個碳捕獲和儲存（CCS）設施。Inpex預測，可能在2030年代初開始在阿巴迪生產液化天然氣。

Shell strikes deal to sell stake in slow-moving Abadi

Shell has finally agreed the sale of its 35% stake in the Masela licence, offshore Indonesia, which holds the Abadi gas project.

Indonesia’s Pertamina Hulu Energy and Petronas Masela will buy the stake from Shell Upstream Overseas Services (SUOS). Shell will receive $325 million with another contingent payment of $325mn due on a final investment decision (FID).

Petronas will take a 15% stake in Masela, while Pertamina will have 20%.

The sale has an effective date of January 1, 2023. Shell has said it expects to complete the sale this quarter. It will require approval from Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Shell had backed a plan to install a major floating LNG (FLNG) project on the Masela licence but the Indonesian government rejected the proposal. Indonesia would prefer an onshore facility, which would generate more domestic employment.

Abadi is around 150 km offshore

“The decision to sell our participation in the Masela PSC is in line with our focus on disciplined capital allocation,” said Zo? Yujnovich, Shell’s Integrated Gas and Upstream Director.

“We wish to thank all stakeholders, especially the government of Indonesia for their support throughout the sales process. Shell remains active in Indonesia and continues to contribute to the country’s energy transition journey.”

Petronas president and CEO Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik said the acquisition “marks a significant milestone in Petronas’ portfolio expansion in Indonesia. Our participation underscores the commitment in supporting Indonesia’s production target to achieve one million barrels of oil per day and 12 billion standard cubic feet per day of gas by 2030.”

Japan’s Inpex has the outstanding 65% in the Masela production-sharing contract (PSC) and is also the operator. Shell acquired its stake in Masela in 2011.

The proposed onshore LNG plant would have 9.5 million tonnes per year of capacity. It would also include a carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility. Inpex has forecast it may begin producing LNG at Abadi in the early 2030s.
