埃克森美孚控股公司在与埃尼公司进行资产互换后，增持了莫桑比克计划中的罗武马液化天然气项目的股份。
Holdings Corp. increased its stake in the planned Rovuma liquefied natural gas project in Mozambique after a swap with Eni SpA.
首席财务官尼尔·汉森在接受采访时表示，这家得克萨斯石油巨头将其在该项目中的份额从37.5%提高到了50%，并继续担任运营商。汉森说，作为回报，埃尼将获得“该地区的不同资产”。
The Texas oil giant boosted its share of the project to 50% from 37.5% and remains operator, Chief Financial Officer Neil Hansen said during an interview. In return, Eni will get “different properties there in that area,” Hansen said.
两家公司计划在年底前就该项目做出最终投资决定，该项目可能成为埃克森美孚有史以来最大的运营资本项目。
The companies plan to make a final investment decision in what could be ExxonMobil’s largest-ever operated capital project by the end of the year.
此举正值伊朗战争扰乱全球液化天然气供应，导致输往欧洲和亚洲的价格飙升至近历史高位之际。虽然罗武马液化天然气项目预计产量的大部分已签订合同，但埃克森美孚的增持显示了其对该项目的承诺，该项目因地区安全威胁曾停摆四年多。
It comes as the war in Iran has upended global LNG supplies, causing prices into Europe and Asia to soar to near-record highs. While the majority of Rovuma LNG’s projected output already is under contract, Exxon’s upsizing demonstrates a commitment to a project that was halted for more than four years due to regional security threats.
汉森说：“我们正在与莫桑比克政府推进最后步骤，涉及规划和开发批准等事项，一切进展顺利。”
“We’re progressing kind of final steps with the government of Mozambique around things like plan and development approval,” Hansen said. “All that’s progressing well.”
