据全球能源新闻网2019年7月30日首尔报道，银行业和业内消息人士称，韩国国有企业韩国国家石油公司(KNOC)时下正考虑提高其计划出售在其英国子公司达纳石油公司（Dana Petroleum）中持有的股份。此前，KNOC提出的出售30%的股份未能吸引一个买家。
消息人士称，KNOC日前已聘请加拿大丰业银行协助出售部分股份，但外界认为少数股份对已在该地区运营的能源企业没有任何吸引力，这些企业大多由美国和欧洲私募股权基金支持。
事实证明，这些投资者不愿在一家国有控股企业中持有少数股份。
其中一名消息人士称，这迫使背负大约17万亿韩元(144亿美元)债务、债务权益比为2287%的韩国KNOC试图向其他韩国企业出售达纳石油公司高达49%的股份。
今年3月，这家韩国国有企业表示，其目标是在2019年把长期负债权益比率降至1200%，2020年降至500%。
这名消息人士称，KNOC如今正在寻求与包括韩国三星重工、大宇造船与海洋工程公司和现代重工在内的造船集团接洽。这些公司可能有兴趣向这家海上石油和天然气公司提供浮式船只。
另一位消息人士称，达纳石油公司49%的股份价值可能高达8亿美元。
