彭博社报道，美国私募股权巨头凯雷集团表示，其收购俄罗斯卢克伊尔石油公司大部分海外资产的协议已经终止。
US private equity giant Carlyle Group said its agreement to buy most of Lukoil PJSC foreign assets has terminated.
凯雷集团在回应彭博社置评请求时表示，今年初达成的协议已在夏季过期，且该集团目前并未积极寻求收购卢克伊尔的资产。此前，这家受制裁的俄罗斯公司的旗下部门卢克伊尔国际公司在其年度报告中表示，美国海外资产控制办公室（OFAC）并未批准这笔1月份的交易，协议已于7月底失效。
The agreement reached at the start of the year expired over summer and the group isn’t actively pursuing Lukoil’s assets, the company said in response to Bloomberg request for a comment. Earlier Lukoil International GmbH, a unit of the sanctioned Russian company, said in its annual report that the US Office of Foreign Assets Control didn’t rubberstamp the January deal and it lapsed at the end of July.
在美方将卢克伊尔及同行俄罗斯石油公司列入黑名单以施压克里姆林宫结束乌克兰战争近一年后，这家俄罗斯第二大石油生产商决定出售其海外业务。卢克伊尔是俄罗斯各大石油公司中多元化程度最高的一家，在欧洲拥有炼油厂股份，在从伊拉克到哈萨克斯坦的油田拥有重要资产，并拥有全球加油站网络。
Russia’s No. 2 oil producer decided to sell its foreign operations almost a year ago after the US blacklisted the company — as well as peer Rosneft PJSC — to pressure the Kremlin into ending its war in Ukraine. Lukoil is the most diverse of Russia’s large oil companies, with stakes in refineries in Europe, significant holdings in oil fields from Iraq to Kazakhstan and a global network of fuel stations.
该公司最初同意将这些业务出售给能源贸易商贡沃尔集团（现更名为Centalion Group Ltd.），但该交易告吹。三个月后，凯雷介入收购这些资产，尽管该交易仍需获得监管批准，且卢克伊尔继续与其他潜在买家进行谈判。OFAC没有立即回应彭博社的置评请求。
The firm initially agreed to sell the operations to energy trader Gunvor Group — now known as Centalion Group Ltd. — but that deal collapsed. Three months later, Carlyle stepped in to take the assets, though the transaction remained subject to regulatory approvals and Lukoil continued to talk with other potential buyers. OFAC didn’t immediately respond to a Bloomberg request for comment.
《纽约时报》周四报道称，由美国亿万富翁托德·伯利领导的投资者集团正在就收购卢克伊尔海外资产的股份进行谈判。
The New York Times reported on Thursday that an investor group led by American billionaire Todd Boehly was in talks to take a stake in Lukoil’s foreign assets.
