据能源经济2月25日消息称，埃克森美孚将其在英国北海中部和北部的大部分上游资产以超过10亿美元的价格出售给HitecVision。此次出售包括埃克森美孚在英国北海14个油田的权益。
这包括主要由壳牌运营的油田，包括以鸟类命名的油田企鹅、椋鸟、弗雷姆、塘鹅群和海鸥油田；道达尔运营的埃尔金富兰克林油田；以及对相关基础设施的股份。
2019年，埃克森美孚在这些油田的产量份额约为每天3.8万桶油当量。
这家总部位于得克萨斯州欧文市的石油公司在英国已经运营了135年以上，目前仍在英国维持广泛的炼油和燃料营销、润滑油、石化产品生产和天然气营销业务。
该公司还将在北海南部上游资产中保留其非经营性股份，以及其在壳牌埃索天然气和液体基础设施中的份额，壳牌埃索天然气和液体基础设施为该公司的法夫乙烯工厂供应乙烷。
埃克森美孚高级副总裁Neil Chapman周三在一份声明中表示，该公司正在出售“战略性较弱”的资产，将重点放在圭亚那、美国二叠纪盆地、巴西和液化天然气的开发计划上。
预计该交易将在今年年中完成。

ExxonMobil selling some upstream assets for more than $1 billion
ExxonMobil is selling most of its upstream assets in the United Kingdom central and northern North Sea to HitecVision for more than USD 1 billion. The sale includes ExxonMobil's interests in 14 producing fields in the UK North Sea.
This includes fields run primarily by Shell, including Penguins, Starling, Fram, the Gannet Cluster and Shearwater; Elgin Franklin fields operated by Total; and interests in the associated infrastructure.
ExxonMobil's share of production from these fields was approximately 38,000 oil-equivalent barrels per day in 2019.
The Irving, Texas-based oil company, which has operated in the UK for more than 135 years, is still keeping extensive refining and fuels marketing, lubricants, petrochemicals production and the natural gas marketing business in the UK.
It will also keep its non-operated share in upstream assets in the southern North Sea, and its share in the Shell Esso gas and liquids infrastructure that supplies ethane to the company's Fife ethylene plant.
Neil Chapman, senior vice president of ExxonMobil, said in a statement Wednesday that the company is selling assets that are "less strategic" and concentrating on development plans that prioritize Guyana, the US Permian Basin, Brazil and liquefied natural gas.
The deal is expected to close by the middle of the year.
