據(jù)離岸工程5月14日報道，日前，日本石油勘探公司(Japex)決定將其在加拿大頁巖氣項目中10%的權益出售給馬來西亞國家石油能源加拿大公司(Petronas Energy Canada)，具體金額未透露。

　　Japex將通過其子公司Japex Montney剝離其在北蒙特尼(NM)合資企業(yè)的股份。

　　NM負責不列顛哥倫比亞省北蒙特尼地區(qū)的頁巖氣開發(fā)和生產。

　　該頁巖氣項目將為太平洋西北液化天然氣項目提供天然氣，此項目因環(huán)境惡劣和價格低廉于2017年被取消。

　　Japex在一份新聞聲明中表示，即使在2017年7月由于商業(yè)環(huán)境的變化而決定不繼續(xù)進行液化天然氣項目后，Japex仍一直與PECL及其合作伙伴合作，通過優(yōu)化開發(fā)計劃，最大化NM項目的價值。

　　然而，Japex表示，其退出加拿大頁巖資產的決定是因為預計勘探生產業(yè)務將面臨更嚴峻的環(huán)境。

　　該公司指出，這是由于新冠疫情的長期影響，包括之后的結構性變化，并加速全球脫碳。

　　2018年，Japex制定了中期業(yè)務計劃，其中包括轉變勘探與生產業(yè)務結構，以確保在每桶50- 60美元的油價環(huán)境下實現(xiàn)可持續(xù)增長。

　　該公司在一份聲明中表示，基于這一認識，我們的勘探開發(fā)項目一直在努力通過優(yōu)化業(yè)務組合來提高盈利能力，包括出售資產。

　　其他參與加拿大頁巖氣項目的公司包括馬來西亞國家石油公司(62%)、印度石油集團(10%)和文萊石油集團(3%)。

　　Japex to sell 10% stake in Canadian shale gas project to Petronas

　　Japan Petroleum Exploration (Japex) has decided to sell its 10% interest in the Canadian shale gas project to Petronas Energy Canada (PECL) for an undisclosed sum.

　　Japex will divest its stake in the North Montney (NM) joint venture through its subsidiary Japex Montney.

　　The NM is responsible for shale gas development and production in the North Montney area of British Columbia.

　　The shale gas project would have provided gas for the Pacific North West LNG project, which was cancelled in 2017 due to challenging environment and low prices.

　　In a press statement, Japex said: “Even after the decision not to proceed with the LNG project in July 2017 due to changes in the business environment, Japex has been working with PECL and its partners to maximise the value of the NM project by optimising the development plan.”

　　However, Japex said its decision to exit the Canadian shale asset comes as it anticipates a more severe environment that surrounds the E&P business.

　　This is due to the prolonging Covid-19 effects, including aftermath structural changes, and accelerating the global decarbonisation, the firm noted.

　　In 2018, Japex framed the medium-term business plan, which involves transforming its E&P business structure to ensure sustainable growth even at $50-$60 a barrel oil price environments.

　　The firm said in a statement: “based on the recognition, our E&P projects have been striving to improve their profitability by optimising the business portfolio, including the sale of the asset.”

　　Others firms involved in the Canadian shale gas project include Petronas Group (62%), Indian Oil Group (10%) and Petroleum Brunei Group (3%).
