据路透社9月20日北非报道，专注于石油和天然气的SDX能源公司周四证实它正在与英国石油公司收购位于埃及的一系列资产进行谈判。
在伦敦上市的SDX公司表示该收购将构成反向收购。
SDX表示其股票已经被伦敦初级市场AIM停牌交易，立即生效，并会一直停牌，直到许可文件已经公布或公司确认交易没有进行。
路透社在今年早些时候报道，援引银行消息人士称，英国石油正寻求买家购买其在埃及的一家50年历史的石油和天然气业务的股权,当时估计价值约5亿美元。
目前尚不清楚SDX正与英国石油就哪些资产进行谈判。
当天早些时候，石油和天然气勘探商和生产商SOCO国际表示它签署了一项协议以大约2.15亿美元收购私有的 Merlon Petroleum El Fayum 公司。
Merlon持有在 位于埃及的El Fayum陆上油田的作业的工作权益。

SDX Energy confirms talks with BP to buy assets in Egypt
North African-focused oil and gas company SDX Energy London-listed SDX said the acquisition would constitute a reverse takeover.
SDX said its shares have been suspended from trading Reuters reported earlier in the year, citing banking sources, that BP is seeking buyers for its stake in a 50-year-old oil and gas business in Egypt, then estimated to be worth around $500 million.
It was not immediately clear which assets SDX was in talks with BP over.
Earlier in the day, oil and gas explorer and producer SOCO International said it signed a deal to buy privately-owned Merlon Petroleum El Fayum Company for about $215 million.
Merlon holds the operated working interest onshore El Fayum in Egypt.
