據油價網8月3日消息稱，消息人士對路透表示，隨著油價上漲，包括沙特阿美和阿布扎比國家石油公司在內的中東最大的國有石油公司考慮向投資者出售更多資產，以變現其在各種下游和上游業務中的股份。

　　兩名知情人士對路透表示，沙特阿拉伯石油巨頭沙特阿美考慮出售部分上下游資產，包括天然氣管道以及煉油廠和發電廠的股份。

　　今年早些時候，彭博社援引知情人士的話報道稱，根據與沙特簽署的長達十年的特許經營協議，沙特阿美運營著沙特所有上游油氣資產。該公司正在評估其上游業務，并可能決定向外部投資者出售一些非戰略性領域的股權。

　　沙特阿美今年已經達成了一項重大資產出售交易——以124億美元的價格將其管道業務49%的股份出售給了美國EIG全球能源伙伴牽頭的財團。

　　沙特阿美總裁兼首席執行官Amin Nasser在6月交易結束時表示:“我們計劃繼續探索利用我們行業領先能力的機會，并吸引合適類型的投資到沙特阿拉伯。”

　　知情人士對路透表示，在阿聯酋，ADNOC正準備為其鉆井業務進行首次公開募股(IPO)，旨在吸引外國投資者。

　　ADNOC已經通過能源資產交易籌集了數十億美元資金，其中包括去年以100億美元出售其天然氣管道49%的股份。此次出售標志著海灣石油生產商開始出售資產，這些生產商正尋求籌集現金并吸引投資者。

　　據路透社消息，阿曼和巴林也在尋求通過股權出售或IPO將資產貨幣化。

　　今年4月，彭博社報道稱，阿曼政府公司正在考慮幾種方案，以填補擴大的預算缺口，包括通過首次公開募股(IPO)出售國有石油公司OQ的股份。

　　據報道，OQ還打算出售資產，并利用國際債務市場，為未來5年計劃的79億美元支出提供資金。

　　Saudi Aramco, UAE’s ADNOC Plan New Asset Sales

　　The biggest state-held oil firms in the Middle East, including Saudi Aramco and the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), consider selling more assets to investors to monetize stakes in their various downstream and upstream businesses as prices rise, sources have told Reuters.

　　Saudi Arabia’s giant Aramco considers sales of part of upstream and downstream assets, including its gas pipelines and stakes in refineries and power plants, two sources with knowledge of the plans told Reuters.

　　Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported, quoting sources familiar with the matter, that Aramco, which operates all upstream oil and gas assets in Saudi Arabia under a multi-decade concession deal with the Kingdom, was reviewing its upstream business and could decide to sell stakes in some not-so-strategic fields to external investors.

　　Aramco has already made one major asset sale deal this year—it sold a 49-percent stake in its pipeline business to a consortium led by U.S. EIG Global Energy Partners for $12.4 billion.

　　“We plan to continue to explore opportunities to capitalize on our industry-leading capabilities and attract the right type of investment to Saudi Arabia,” Aramco’s president and chief executive Amin Nasser said at the closing of the deal in June.

　　In the UAE, ADNOC is getting ready for an initial public offering (IPO) of its drilling business and aims to attract foreign investors to it, sources with knowledge of the deal told Reuters.

　　ADNOC has already raised billions of U.S. dollars from energy asset deals, including the sale of a 49-percent stake in its gas pipelines last year, for $10 billion. This sale marked the start of asset sales from Gulf oil producers, who are looking to raise cash and attract investors.

　　According to Reuters’ sources, Oman and Bahrain are also looking to monetize assets via stake sales or IPOs.

　　In April this year, Bloomberg reported that the government of Oman was looking at several options to plug the widened budget hole, including selling a stake in state oil firm OQ via an initial public offering (IPO).

　　OQ is also reportedly looking to sell assets and tap the international debt market in order to fund its planned $7.9 billion expenditures over the next five years.
