据海上能源7月10日报道，法国石油巨头道达尔已同意将价值6.35亿美元的英国北海资产出售给英国石油天然气公司(Petrogas Neo UK)。
道达尔周三表示，所出售得资产以前由马士基石油公司拥有是非核心资产，位于北海东部。 道达尔于2018年3月收购马士基石油。
该笔交易中道达尔将出售其在邓巴顿、巴勒赫，洛赫蓝卡，德拉姆托希蒂，弗林德雷，阿弗莱克和考德油田的股份，所有这些都由道达尔经营。
道达尔表示，与英国石油天然气公司(Petrogas Neo)达成的交易总额为6.35亿美元，于2019年1月1日开始生效。这笔交易仍有待相关部门批准，预计将于2019年12月完成。道达尔勘探和生产总裁阿诺德·布吕亚克称，这项交易符合我们的投资组合管理策略，旨在通过优化资本配置和剥离高技术成本资产来降低我们的盈亏平衡点。我们的主要目标是在股息低于每桶30美元之前保持有机收支平衡，而高评级的投资组合将有助于我们实现这一目标。
道达尔继续保留从马士基石油公司购买的英国的Culzean油田，该油田位于英国阿伯丁海岸230公里处的第22/25A号区块，已于今年6月开始生产。
2018年，道达尔在英国产量为17.9万油当量/天，主要来自所经营的三个主要地区的近海油田：北海北部的Alwyn/Dunbar地区、北海中部的埃尔金/富兰克林地区、设得兰群岛西部的Laggan-Tormore地区。

The transaction remains subject to approval from the relevant authorities and is expected to close in December 2019, Total said.Arnaud Breuillac, President Exploration & Production at Total: “This transaction is consistent with our portfolio management strategy, aiming at lowering our break-even point by optimizing capital allocation and divesting high technical costs assets. Our primary objective is to maintain the organic break-even before dividend below $30 per barrel and high-grading our portfolio will help us achieve this.”
Total is keeping the Culzean field in the UK which it also bought from Maersk. The field, located Total equity production in the UK was of 179,000 boe/d in 2018.
