據(jù)管道新聞網(wǎng)12月21日消息稱，英國(guó)石油(bp)將通過一筆逾7億美元的交易，收購(gòu)其在美國(guó)管道合作伙伴BP Midstream Partners LP尚未擁有的剩余股份。這家能源巨頭正尋求簡(jiǎn)化其結(jié)構(gòu)。

bp創(chuàng)建了 BP Midstream Partners 作為主要有限合伙企業(yè) (MLP)，以擁有、運(yùn)營(yíng)和購(gòu)買主要以收費(fèi)為基礎(chǔ)的石油運(yùn)輸管道和存儲(chǔ)資產(chǎn)。今年8月，該公司提出收購(gòu)BP Midstream剩余股份。

bp 在一份聲明中表示：“此次交易將深化bp對(duì)中游資產(chǎn)的興趣，并簡(jiǎn)化所有權(quán)和治理結(jié)構(gòu)，以支持……它在美國(guó)的燃料價(jià)值鏈?！?/p>

自20世紀(jì)80年代以來(lái)，石油和天然氣行業(yè)通過具有稅收優(yōu)惠的MLPs為管道和存儲(chǔ)產(chǎn)品提供了數(shù)十億美元的資金，但在美國(guó)監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)表示將不再允許它們收回所得稅減免后，幾家管道公司近年來(lái)進(jìn)行了重組。

美國(guó)煉油商菲利普斯66在10月份公布了一項(xiàng)類似的交易，當(dāng)時(shí)它表示將以 34 億美元的價(jià)格收購(gòu)菲利普斯 66 合伙公司剩余的業(yè)務(wù)。

BP to Buy Out US Pipeline Partnership in $723 Million Deal

BP will acquire the remaining stake in its U.S. pipelines partnership BP Midstream Partners LP that it doesn't already own in a more than $700 million deal, as the energy giant looks to simplify its structure.

BP created BP Midstream Partners as a master limited partnership (MLP) to own, operate, and buy mainly fee-based oil-transporting pipelines and storage assets. It made an offer in August to buy the remainder of BP Midstream.

"This transaction will deepen BP's interests in, and simplifies the ownership and governance structure of, midstream assets that support ... its fuels value chain in the United States," BP said in a statement.

The oil and gas industry has financed billions in pipeline and storage products under tax-advantaged MLPs since the 1980s, but several pipeline companies have restructured in recent years after U.S. regulators said they will no longer be allowed to recover an income tax allowance.

U.S. refiner Phillips 66 unveiled a similar deal in October when it said it would buy the remaining units of Phillips 66 Partners for $3.4 billion.
