原标题：2019年上游行业引领O&A并购交易

中国石化新闻网讯 据海事新闻2月11日消息称，一项最新研究显示，2019年全球油气行业的并购交易中，上游行业占了大部分，在此过程中产生了一些高价值交易。

根据GlobalData的主题报告《2020年油气并购》，2019年4月，西方石油公司(OXY)以570亿美元收购阿纳达科石油公司（APC），成为去年油气并购活动的亮点。

GlobalData的石油和天然气分析师Ravindra Puranik表示：“2019年，上游行业，尤其是美国页岩油行业，见证了油气行业最高的交易活动。位于特拉华州、得克萨斯州米德兰盆地和新墨西哥州的租赁地是美国最受追捧的资产之一，这主要是因为它们靠近墨西哥湾沿岸的炼油和石化设。”

Ravindra补充说：“事实上，阿纳达科石油公司在二叠纪盆地拥有的巨大油田面积是其被西方石油公司收购的主要原因，这是去年最大的一笔交易。石油和天然气公司还收购了天然气储量丰富的阿巴拉契亚盆地的资产，因为该盆地服务于美国东海岸的关键商业中心。”

加拿大的艾伯塔省和萨斯喀彻温省的油砂储量也在2019年的交易活动中占据重要地位，因为出于基础设施和环境方面的考虑，一些公司(尤其是非加拿大公司)将其资产剥离给了加拿大运营商。在其中一笔交易中，总部位于美国的德文能源公司将其油砂资产出售给加拿大自然资源公司，以专注于在美国的业务。

Puranik补充说：“随着油气跨国公司开始优化投资组合，在北海、里海和澳大利亚上游地区等其他地区，撤资也是交易活跃的原因。这是由康菲石油公司(COP)和雪佛龙公司(CVX)领导的，而其他公司，包括英国石油公司、埃克森美孚和壳牌紧随其后。预计石油巨头们将在2020年进行更多的撤资，因为石油和天然气的价格在不久的将来仍将保持低位。”

2019年，中下游行业也出现了引人注目的交易，尤其是全球主要油气产区的管道资产。巴西国家石油公司、马拉松石油公司、沙特阿美和道达尔都是2019年中下游行业高价值交易的公司。

Upstream Sector Leads O A M A in 2019

A latest research revealed that the upstream sector accounted for the bulk of mergers and acquisitions (M A) in the global oil and gas industry in 2019, generating some high-value transactions during the process.

According to GlobalData s theme report, ‘M A in Oil and Gas – 2020’, the acquisition of Anadarko Petroleum (APC) by Occidental Petroleum (OXY) in April 2019 for a purchase consideration of US$57bn was the highlight of oil and gas M A activity last year, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

Ravindra Puranik, Oil Gas Analyst at GlobalData, said: “In 2019, the upstream sector, more specifically the US shale plays, witnessed the highest deal activity in the oil and gas industry. The leaseholds in Delaware and Midland Basins of Texas and New Mexico were among the most sought after assets in the US, largely due to their proximity to the refining and petrochemical complexes along the Gulf of Mexico.

Ravindra added: In fact, the vast acreage held by Anadarko Petroleum in the Permian Basin was the main reason behind its acquisition by Occidental Petroleum to mark the biggest deal of last year. Oil and gas companies also acquired assets in the gas-rich Appalachia Basin as it serves key commercial centers on the US East Coast.”

The oil sands deposits of Alberta and Saskatchewan in Canada also featured in deal activity in 2019 as companies, especially the non-Canadian ones, divested their assets to Canadian operators amid infrastructure and environmental concerns. In one such transaction, US-based Devon Energy (DVN) sold its oil sands assets to Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ) to focus on operations in the US.

Puranik added: “Divestment was also the reason for deal activity in other regions, such as the North Sea, the Caspian Sea, and the Australian upstream sector as oil and gas multinationals embarked on portfolio optimization. This was led by ConocoPhillips (COP) and Chevron (CVX), while other companies, including BP, ExxonMobil, and Shell followed suit. More divestments are expected from oil majors in 2020 as oil and gas prices are anticipated to remain low in the near future.”

The midstream and downstream sectors also witnessed notable deals in 2019, particularly for pipeline assets in key oil and gas producing regions around the world. Petrobras, Marathon Petroleum (MPC), Saudi Aramco, and Total were among the companies executing high-value deals in midstream and downstream sectors in 2019.
