沙特阿美支付壳牌22亿美元结束一企业合资关系压力仪表

据道琼斯3月7日消息，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(沙特阿美)将向荷兰皇家壳牌集团支付22亿美元，结束两家公司在美国Motiva炼油合资企业长达20年的合作关系。

该交易将令沙特独家控股美国最大的炼油厂，这座位于得州阿瑟港的炼油厂设计原油加工能力为60万桶/天。沙特阿美将完全接管Motiva企业的名称和法律实体。沙特阿美与壳牌在一份联合声明中称，沙特还将获得24个经销终端。

壳牌将获得位于路易斯安那州的Norco和Convent炼油厂的独家控制权，同时得到11个经销终端。

这笔交易的关键是Motiva背负的32亿美元净债务。

壳牌在另一份声明中称，沙特阿美已同意接手Motiva的所有债务，其中包含所欠壳牌的15亿美元债务。沙特阿美将向壳牌支付现金，偿还这笔债务，从而使其向壳牌支付的金额总数达到22亿美元。

该交易仍需获得监管部门批准，料将于2017年第二季度完成。

该交易结束了壳牌和沙特阿美在美国长达二十年的合作关系。两家公司2012年投资100亿美元加倍扩大了亚瑟港炼油厂的炼油能力，从而令该炼油厂成为美国最大的炼油厂。

该炼油厂生产的汽油、柴油和航煤的一皮革机械大部分是出口海外市场。

Saudi Aramco to Pay Royal Dutch Shell $2.2 Billion in Motiva Breakup

By Summer Said

State-oil giant Saudi Arabian Oil Co. will pay Royal Dutch Shell PLC $2.2 billion to finalize the breakup of their two-decade Motiva Enterprises refining partnership in the U.S.

The deal gives Saudi Arabia sole control over the largest refinery in the U.S., a 600,000-barrels a day facility in Port Arthur, Tex. The Saudi state oil company, known as Aramco, will take full ownership of the Motiva Enterprises LLC name and legal entity. Saudi Arabia also gets 24 distribution terminals, Aramco and Shell said in a joint statement.

Sh水温表ell will assume sole ownership of the Norco and Convent refineries in Louisiana as well as 11 distribution terminals.

A key part of the deal was Motiva's $3.2 billion net debt.

In a separate statement, Shell said Saudi Aramco agreed to take on all of the debt, including Shell's $1.5 billion portion, and also make cash payments bringing the total amount paid to Shell to $2.2 billion.

The transaction, which is subject to regulatory approval, is expected to be finalized in the second quarter of 2017.

The deal unwinds a two-decade partnership between Shell and Aramco in the U.S. The two companies spent $10 billion to double the size of the Port Arthur, Tex. plant in 2012, making it the largest refiner长沙y in the U.S.

A significant portion of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel produced there every day is exported to overseas markets.
