中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油网2月27日报道，阿联酋主要的石油公司将其天然气业务的首次公开募股规模扩大了四分之一，达到25亿美元。到目前为止，该公司的天然气业务已经成为全球最大的首次公开募股。
在此之前，投资者在上周股票发售数小时内就抢购一空。根据周一的一份声明，阿布扎比国家石油公司(Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.)现在将向ADNOC Gas提供38.4亿股股票，约占5%的股份。此前该公司希望出售4%的股份。
价格区间保持在每股2.25迪拉姆(0.61美元)至2.43迪拉姆。该公司的高端估值为508亿美元，与西方石油公司(Occidental Petroleum Corp.)大致相当。
ADNOC天然气公司表示：“所有部分的投资者需求都很大。”
由于地缘政治冲突爆发后能源价格飙升，阿联酋和沙特阿拉伯去年经历了IPO热潮，抵御了全球经济放缓的影响。
两家子公司合并后成立了ADNOC Gas，由于天然气价格飙升，截至2022年10月，该公司的潜在利润达到创纪录的87亿美元。
阿布扎比历史上最大的首次公开募股
此次IPO将成为阿布扎比有史以来规模最大的IPO，超过化工公司Borouge在2022年年中进行的20亿美元IPO。这是波斯湾地区一系列股票出售的最新一例，各国政府正寻求为摆脱化石燃料的转型提供资金，并吸引更多的国际投资者进入他们的市场。
ADNOC天然气接受散户投资者的订单至3月1日，接受机构交易员的订单次日后，最终定价将于3月3日公布。预计3月13日开始交易。
此次IPO的时间表正在加快，ADNOC在2022年11月底才宣布上市，并在今年年初正式创建天然气部门。彭博新闻社(Bloomberg News)报道，紧凑的日程安排导致高盛集团(Goldman Sachs Group Inc.)和美国银行(Bank of America Corp.)放弃了这笔交易。
在IPO之前，ADOC将ADNOC Gas 5%的股份转让给了阿布扎比国有控股的电力生产商Taqa。
包括阿布扎比政府相关实体在内的几家基金承诺投资8.5亿美元作为基础投资者。其中包括Alpha Dhabi和国际控股公司。
ADNOC天然气公司预计在2023年支付32.5亿美元的股息。该公司在8个陆上和海上站点拥有100亿立方英尺/天的生产能力，管道网络超过3250公里(2020英里)。
阿布扎比第一银行(First Abu Dhabi Bank PJSC)和汇丰控股(HSBC Holdings Plc)是此次IPO的牵头银行。阿布扎比商业银行(Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank PJSC)、Arqaam Capital Limited、法国巴黎银行(BNP Paribas)、德意志银行(Deutsche Bank AG)、EFG-Hermes和国际证券是联合承销商。莫里斯公司是一家独立的财务顾问公司。
