葡萄牙加尔普能源公司(Galp Energia)于周一表示,该公司与西班牙私募股权支持的Moeve关于合并双方炼油、化工及燃料零售业务的谈判已经破裂,从而使一项本可打造欧洲最大炼油企业之一的交易告吹。
Portugal's Galp Energia (GALP.LS) said on Monday talks with Spain's private equity-backed Moeve to combine their refining, chemicals and fuel retail businesses had broken down, derailing a deal that would have created one of Europe's biggest refiners.
加尔普能源董事长葆拉·阿莫林在声明中表示:“尽管拟议交易背后的战略基础依然令人信服,但双方未能达成必要的商业一致,以支持持久且具增值效益的伙伴关系。”Moeve首席执行官马尔滕·韦茨拉尔在谈判破裂后的一份声明中表示,该公司正“全力专注于”向低碳业务的战略转型。双方均未透露谈判破裂的具体原因。
Galp Chairwoman Paula Amorim said in a statement: "While the strategic rationale underpinning the proposed transaction remains compelling, the parties were unable to achieve the necessary commercial alignment to support an enduring and value-accretive partnership." Moeve CEO Maarten Wetselaar said in a statement the company was "fully focused" on its strategic transformation towards low-carbon businesses after the talks collapsed. Neither gave any specific reasons for the talks failing.
加尔普能源与Moeve(原名Cepsa,由阿布扎比穆巴达拉投资公司和美国投资公司凯雷集团所有)曾在1月宣布了一项非约束性协议,探讨通过两家合资企业合并其下游资产。
Galp and Moeve – formerly known as Cepsa and owned by Abu Dhabi's Mubadala and US investment firm Carlyle (CG.O) – had announced in January a non-binding agreement to explore combining their downstream assets through two joint ventures.
另一项工业合资计划本会将加尔普能源的锡内斯炼油厂与Moeve的韦尔瓦和阿尔赫西拉斯炼油厂结合起来,打造一个原油加工能力约为每天70万桶的炼油平台。预计Moeve将持有控股权,而加尔普能源将持有超过20%的股份。
A separate industrial venture would have combined Galp's Sines refinery with Moeve's Huelva and Algeciras refineries, creating a refining platform with crude processing capacity of about 700,000 barrels per day. Moeve was expected to hold a controlling stake, while Galp would own more than 20%.
加尔普能源在7月曾表示,与Moeve股东的讨论正在建设性地推进,双方仍致力于在2026年下半年达成协议。
In July Galp said discussions with Moeve's shareholders were progressing constructively and that the parties remained committed to reaching an agreement in the second half of 2026.
根据拟议的架构,两家公司曾计划组建一家运营约3500座加油站的零售业务公司,主要分布在西班牙和葡萄牙,双方各持有一半股权。
Under the proposed structure, the companies had planned to create a retail business operating around 3,500 service stations, primarily in Spain and Portugal, with ownership split equally between the two groups.
两家公司此前曾辩称,更大的规模将巩固其在炼油、化工、燃料分销和低碳能源项目中的地位,同时有助于为能源转型提供资金。
The companies had argued that greater scale would strengthen their position in refining, chemicals, fuel distribution and low-carbon energy projects while helping finance the energy transition.
谈判的破裂使得加尔普能源的炼油、化工和燃料零售业务继续由其独自所有,同时该集团将继续专注于其核心增长领域,包括巴西的石油生产和可再生能源。
The collapse of the talks leaves Galp's refining, chemicals and fuel retail businesses under its sole ownership, while the group continues to focus on its core growth areas, including oil production in Brazil and renewable energy.
阿莫林表示,加尔普能源依然“处于极其优越的地位,拥有业内最具吸引力的上游增长前景之一、强大的工业和商业业务以及多元化的资产组合”。
Amorim said Galp remains "exceptionally well positioned, with one of the most attractive upstream growth profiles in the sector, strong industrial and commercial businesses, and a diversified portfolio".
