據(jù)原油新聞7月12日消息稱，Contango石油天然氣公司周四透露，該公司將購買康菲石油公司擁有的所有懷俄明州天然氣資產(chǎn)。此次收購正值康菲石油出售部分油氣資產(chǎn)，Contango計劃繼續(xù)擴(kuò)大其在懷俄明州的業(yè)務(wù)之際。

　　這筆價值6700萬美元的交易將把風(fēng)河盆地約4460億立方英尺的已探明、已開發(fā)和生產(chǎn)儲量轉(zhuǎn)移給總部位于休斯頓的石油天然氣公司Contango。預(yù)計該協(xié)議將在未來幾個月內(nèi)最終敲定。

　　Contango公司首席執(zhí)行官Wilkie S. Colyer, Jr說:“我們的商業(yè)模式主要圍繞這些資產(chǎn)，這些資產(chǎn)的開采時間較長，產(chǎn)量下降速度較慢，可預(yù)預(yù)性較好，能夠產(chǎn)生大量的現(xiàn)金流，但不存在鉆井過程中所存在的大量再投資風(fēng)險。”

　　此次出售包括美國最大的石油和天然氣生產(chǎn)商之一康菲公司擁有的風(fēng)河盆地的所有資產(chǎn)。

　　公司發(fā)言人在給 Star-Tribune 的電子郵件中寫道：“康菲石油在風(fēng)河盆地?fù)碛袕?qiáng)大的地位，但這些資產(chǎn)在吸引我們投資組合中的資本方面沒有競爭力。”

　　Contango 購買的懷俄明州油井的凈產(chǎn)量約為每天 7800 萬立方英尺天然氣當(dāng)量，并且在未來五年內(nèi)，預(yù)計每年下降5%的比率相對較低。Colyer說，這些因素使得這次收購對公司來說是一個風(fēng)險較低的投資。

　　他說：“在某些情況下，你購買的油井已經(jīng)生產(chǎn)了 20 到 30 年，但這些油井的壽命通常超過 50 年。所以你購買的這些資產(chǎn)，不是在其生產(chǎn)能力的頂峰，而是在你仍然可以從這些資產(chǎn)中產(chǎn)生大量現(xiàn)金流的階段。”

　　Contango to Purchase All ConocoPhillips Natural Gas Assets in Wyoming

　　Contango Oil & Gas will purchase all Wyoming natural gas assets owned by ConocoPhillips, the company revealed Thursday. The acquisition comes as ConocoPhillips moves to sell off some of its oil and gas assets and Contango looks to continue expanding its operations in Wyoming.

　　The $67 million deal will transfer approximately 446 billion cubic feet equivalent of proved, developed and producing reserves in the Wind River Basin to Contango, a Houston-based oil and gas company. It’s expected to be finalized in the next few months.

　　“Our business model is really centered around these types of assets that are later in life and lower decline, better predictability, that generate a good amount of cash flow, but without a lot of the reinvestment risk that’s inherent in drilling,” said Contango CEO Wilkie S. Colyer, Jr.

　　The sale includes all assets in the Wind River Basin owned by ConocoPhillips, one of the largest U.S. oil and gas producers.

　　“ConocoPhillips has a strong position in the Wind River Basin, but the assets are not competitive in attracting capital in our portfolio,” a company spokesperson wrote in an email to the Star-Tribune.

　　The Wyoming wells purchased by Contango have a net production rate of about 78 million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent per day, and have a relatively low expected decline rate of 5% per year over the next five years — factors Colyer said make the acquisition a lower-risk investment for the company.

　　“You’re buying wells that have been producing for, in some cases, 20 to 30 years, but these things have, typically, well over 50-year lives,” he said. “So you’re buying this, certainly not at the peak of its productive capacity, but at a stage where there’s still a substantial amount of cash flow that you’re generating off the assets.”
