能源集团 Woodside Energy Ltd. 已将其在长期停滞的 Greater Sunrise 液化天然气项目中的运营商权益出售给东帝汶一家国有公司。
Energy Group Ltd. has sold its operating interest in the long-stalled Greater Sunrise liquefied natural gas project to a Timor-Leste state-owned company.
Woodside 周二在声明中表示，这笔 33.44% 股份的出售价值高达 2 亿美元，但其中大部分取决于项目是否建成。这个小国长期以来一直推动开发组成 Greater Sunrise 的两个气田以及一座 LNG 工厂，以期获取潜在的数十亿美元收入。
The sale of the 33.44% stake is worth as much as $200 million, Woodside said Tuesday in a statement, although most of that is dependent on the project being built. The small nation has long pushed for the development of the two fields that make up Greater Sunrise and a LNG plant in a bid to tap potentially billions of dollars of revenue.
在上个月同意收购第三大股东大阪瓦斯公司股份后，Timor Gap 现在将控制整个项目。2018 年的一份独立评估估计开发成本为 156 亿美元。
Timor Gap will now control the entire project, after last month agreeing to buy out a third shareholder, Osaka Gas Corp. An independent assessment from 2018 estimated the development cost at $15.6 billion.
多年来，Woodside 与东帝汶政府一直在争论是否在当地建设液化厂，还是将天然气通过管道输送到澳大利亚。根据 Timor Gap 的数据，这些气田拥有 5.1 万亿立方英尺的天然气或有资源量和 2.26 亿桶凝析油或有资源量。
For years Woodside and the Timorese government have argued over whether to build the liquefaction plant locally or pipe the gas to Australia. The fields have contingent resources of 5.1 trillion cubic feet of gas and 226 million barrels of condensate, according to Timor Gap.
