據(jù)原油新聞7月30日消息稱，據(jù)巴西國家石油公司7月29日報道，該公司已同意以20.3億巴西雷亞爾(4億美元)的價格將嘉士博天然氣分銷公司51%的股份出售給Compass公司，后者是巴西能源集團Cosan的子公司。

　　嘉士博擁有19家天然氣分銷公司的權(quán)益，這些公司運營著橫跨巴西的1萬公里管道，為50多萬客戶提供約290萬立方米/天的天然氣。但它的業(yè)務(wù)與該國最大的天然氣分銷商 Compass 相形見絀，Compass擁有1.9萬公里的天然氣網(wǎng)絡(luò)，服務(wù)于圣保羅州94個市的210萬客戶。

　　巴西國家石油公司正在進行一項全面的撤資計劃，旨在通過出售上游、中游和下游非核心資產(chǎn)來籌集資金，以償還債務(wù)，并加大對深水石油項目的投資。本月早些時候，該公司完成了向當(dāng)?shù)剡\營商3R Petroleum oil and gas出售8個陸上油氣田的交易。

　　巴西國家石油公司還指出，該交易也是該公司根據(jù)一項反壟斷命令的要求，分階段撤出巴西天然氣分銷和運輸市場的一部分，目的是放開該行業(yè)。

　　這筆交易需要監(jiān)管機構(gòu)的批準(zhǔn)才能完成，而且它還取決于日本三井放棄對巴西國家石油公司業(yè)務(wù)的優(yōu)先購買權(quán)。三井擁有嘉士博剩余49%的股份。三井于2015年12月以19.3億雷亞爾購買了其股份。

　　Brazil’s Petrobas Divests Stake in Gaspetro for $400 Million

　　Brazilian state oil company Petrobras has agreed to sell a 51% interest in gas distribution holding Gaspetro for BRL2.03bn ($400mn) to Compass, a subsidiary of Brazilian energy group Cosan, the companies reported on July 29.

　　Gaspetro has interests in 19 gas distribution companies operating 10,000 km of pipeline across Brazil that serve over 500,000 customers around 2.9mn m3/day of gas. But its operations are dwarfed by those of Compass, the country's largest gas distributor with a 19,000-km network serving 2.1mn customers in 94 municipalities in the state of Sao Paulo.

　　Petrobras is in the midst of a sweeping divestment programme, aimed at raising cash from the sale of non-core upstream, midstream and downstream assets to pay down its debts and invest more in deepwater oil projects. Earlier this month it closed the sale of eight onshore oil and gas producing fields to local operator 3R Petroleum Oil and Gas.

　　Petrobras also noted the deal also formed part of its staged withdrawal from Brazil's gas distribution and transport market, as required under a anti-monopoly order, in order to liberalise the sector.

　　The deal needs regulatory approval to be closed, and it also depends on Japan's Mitsui, which owns the remaining 49% in Gaspetro, waiving its preemptive right to Petrobras' position. Mitsui bought its share in December 2015 for 1.93bn reais.
