据巴黎《World Oil》12月13日消息，道达尔已经签署了一项协议，将Ichthys液化天然气（LNG）在澳大利亚的4%的股权转让给经营伙伴INPEX，总计考虑16亿美元。这笔交易须经澳大利亚监管部门批准，道达尔对该资产的股权降至26%。
“这笔交易是我们不断进行资产组合审查以优化资本配置的一部分。Ichthys是澳大利亚液化天然气项目浪潮的一部分，不幸的是，这些项目在建设阶段经历了重大成本超支和延误。运营商提供的最终资本支出估计约为450亿美元，而2017年更新的数据约为400亿美元。因此，根据我们的资本纪律政策，我们决定在项目启动和降低风险后，通过将4%的股份货币化来控制我们在Ichthys使用的资本。“我们当然致力于Ichthys项目，我们剩余的26%的股权有助于我们2019年以后的生产和现金流的增长。”
Ichthys海上设施和两列陆上液化装置将满负荷提供890万公吨/年的液化天然气和165万公吨/年的液化石油气。
第一批液化天然气货物于2018年10月22日出口，第一批海上凝析货物于2018年10月1日出口，第一批液化石油气货物于2018年11月16日出口。两列液化天然气列车现已全部投入运营。

Total reduces its stake in Ichthys LNG, Australia for $1.6 billion
Total has signed an agreement to divest a 4% interest in the Ichthys liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in Australia to operating partner INPEX for an overall consideration of $1.6 billion. The transaction, which is subject to Australian regulatory approvals, reduces Total’s interest in the asset to 26%.
“This transaction is part of our constant portfolio review to optimize our capital allocation. Ichthys is part of a wave of Australian LNG projects, which have unfortunately experienced major cost overruns and delays during their construction phase. The final CAPEX estimate provided by the operator is around $45 billion to be compared to an updated figure around $40 billion in 2017. In line with our capital discipline policy, we have therefore decided to control our capital employed in Ichthys by monetizing a 4% stake after the project start-up and de-risking,” commented Arnaud Breuillac, president, exploration & production at Total. “We are of course committed to the Ichthys project with our remaining 26% interest contributing to our growth both in production and cash flow from 2019 and beyond.”
