據油氣新聞網6月7日報道，據三位知情人士對路透表示，美國私募公司EIG Global Energy Partners正與雷普索爾就收購這家西班牙公司部分油氣勘探和生產業務進行初步談判。

據消息人士稱，該美國基金公司正尋求收購雷普索爾多達25%的上游業務，這筆交易將為這家西班牙集團建設清潔能源產能（如太陽能發電廠和風力發電場）的計劃提供資金。

該消息人士沒有透露任何交易的價值，但分析師表示，包括債務在內，上游業務的價值在140億歐元-180億歐元（150億美元-190億美元）之間。

消息人士稱，兩家公司是在EIG主動提出報價后開始談判的。由于討論是私下進行的，這些消息人士不愿具名。他們表示，談判可能需要數月時間，并不能保證會達成協議。

路透聯系雷普索爾和EIG時，兩家公司均拒絕置評。

路透社報道后，雷普索爾的股價飆升。截至格林尼治時間09:53，該指數上漲近3%，達到2008年6月以來的最高水平。歐洲范圍更廣的石油和天然氣指數上漲0.4%。

該協議將為雷普索爾提供資金，幫助其實現到2025年低碳發電能力增加一倍以上至75吉瓦的目標。1吉瓦大約相當于一座核電站的發電量。

與其他石油公司一樣，雷普索爾的上游部門結構復雜，根據其2021年度財務報表，該部門由100多個獨立部門組成。

為了簡化運營，該公司已出售了其在多個國家的勘探業務股份。

總部位于華盛頓的EIG專門從事能源和相關基礎設施的私人投資。去年，該公司牽頭的一個財團斥資124億美元收購了石油巨頭沙特阿美石油公司（Saudi Aramco）擁有49%管道的股份。

Repsol selling 25pc of O&G unit to EIG

EIG Global Energy Partners is in early discussions with Repsol to buy a slice of the Spanish company's oil and gas exploration and production business, three sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

The US fund is seeking to purchase up to 25 per cent of Repsol's so-called upstream business, the sources said, in a deal that would give the Spanish group cash for its plans to build clean energy capacity such as solar plants and wind farms. 

The sources did not give a value for any deal, but analysts have said the upstream business is worth between 14 billion and 18 billion euros ($15 billion and $19 billion), including debt. 

The companies began talks after EIG made an unsolicited offer, said the sources, who declined to be identified because the discussions were private. They said talks could take months and there was no guarantee a deal would be reached.

Repsol and EIG declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.

Repsol shares spiked higher after the Reuters report. By 0953 GMT, they were up almost 3 per cent at their highest since June 2008. Europe's broader oil & gas index was up 0.4 per cent.

A deal would give Repsol funds to help achieve its goal of more than doubling its low-carbon power generation capacity by 2025 to 7.5 gigawatts (GW). One gigawatt is roughly equivalent to the output of one nuclear plant. 

Like other oil companies, Repsol's upstream division has a complex structure, consisting of more than 100 individual units, according to its 2021 annual financial statements. 

In a bid to streamline operations, the company has sold its stakes in exploration businesses in several countries.

Washington-based EIG specialises in private investments in energy and related infrastructure. It led a consortium that spent $12.4 billion on a 49 per cent stake in pipelines owned by oil giant Saudi Aramco last year.
