据路透社报道，加拿大管道运营商横加公司上周四表示，除其他选择外，该公司还将考虑合资经营和出售资产，为其价值80亿美元的基石XL原油管道（Keystone XL）建设提供资金。
这家总部位于卡尔加里的公司还表示，其沿海天然气管道的潜在合作伙伴对该管道有很大兴趣，该管道将把天然气输送到位于不列颠哥伦比亚的加拿大LNG出口终端。
首席执行长Russ Girling在电话会议上说，"就我们最终将在股权方面走向何方而言，我会给你我们中的一些人保留25%到49%的所有权，然后引进合资公司合伙人。”
横加公司表示，尽管国家能源委员会进行了司法审查，它仍将于2019年开始建造670公里（420英里）长的天然气管道。
该公司没有说明何时对基石XL原油管道做出最终投资决定，但表示，它将继续致力于在2019年建设该输油管道（其运行能力为每天83万桶），并正在考虑所有融资方案。
Girling说：“我们确实拥有相当规模的可出售资产组合，我们愿意剥离这部分资产为基石XL原油管道项目提供部分资金。”
横加公司没有说明它希望保留多少基石XL原油管道的股份，该公司已经开发了十多年。
该公司公布第三季度业绩增长52%，称其液体管道业务收益增长56%，至3.16亿加元。
在截至9月30日的季度里，该季度净利润从去年同期的6.12亿加元（每股收益70加分）上升至9.28亿加元，合7.0818亿美元（每股收益1.02加元）。
