據世界天然氣8月5日消息稱，新加坡雷克斯國際公司在挪威的子公司Lime Petroleum已簽署協議，收購雷普索爾在挪威北海運營的一塊油田的權益。

雷克斯周三透露，Lime Petroleum已與KUFPEC挪威公司簽訂買賣協議，以6800萬美元（約合6.33億挪威克朗）收購后者在雷普索爾經營的Yme油田10%的權益。

雷克斯國際公司執行主席Dan Brostr?m表示：“Lime Petroleum收購更多生產資產是雷克斯集團資本管理和投資戰略的一部分，旨在抓住機遇，為我們的利益相關者創造和釋放價值。作為收購的一部分，Lime Petroleum將承擔3.09億挪威克朗（3300萬美元）的稅收余額（截至2022年1月1日）。”

該交易預計將進一步加強Lime作為挪威大陸架（NCS）“成熟勘探和生產公司”的地位，此前該公司收購了Brage油田的權益，該油田于2021年底完成。

Norwegian player buying stake in Repsol’s North Sea field

Lime Petroleum, a Norwegian subsidiary of Singapore’s Rex International, has inked a deal to acquire an interest in a Repsol-operated field located in the North Sea offshore Norway.

Rex revealed on Wednesday that Lime Petroleum has entered into a sale and purchase agreement with KUFPEC Norway to acquire the latter’s 10 per cent interest in the Repsol-operated Yme field, which is located in the Norwegian North Sea, for a post-tax consideration of $68 million (about NOK 633 million).

Dan Brostr?m, Executive Chairman of Rex International Holding, remarked: “This acquisition of more producing assets by Lime Petroleum is part of the Rex Group’s capital management and investment strategy to seize opportunities with an aim to build and unlock value for our stakeholders. As part of the acquisition, Lime Petroleum will assume tax balances (as at 1 January 2022) of NOK 309 million ($33 million).

This deal is expected to further strengthen Lime’s position as a “full-fledged exploration and production player” on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), following the firm’s acquisition of an interest in the producing Brage field, which was completed at the end of 2021.
