据离岸工程12月17日报道，石油巨头英国石油公司已签署一项协议，通过从维亚罗能源公司（Viaro Energy）的子公司RockRose购买28%的股权，增加其在位于英国大陆架（UKCS）的Foinaven油田的股份。

此次出售Foinaven油田28%的非经营性权益，是RockRose致力于在该国近海领域进一步开发的努力的一部分。

Viaro首席执行官Francesco Mazzagatti表示，Foinaven 油田是UKCS的标志性开发，我们很自豪能够参与其中。我们已经建立了一个非常强大的生产基地，并在继续寻求机会，进一步扩大我们的投资组合，以实现英国本土公司的进一步增长。

1990年发现的Foinaven油田于1997年11月开始生产。

英国石油公司运营的Foinaven地区包括Foinaven和Foinaven East油田。该公司拥有Foinaven油田72%的股份和Foinaven East油田43%的股份。

RockRose Energy持有Foinaven油田剩余28%的股权，并持有Foinaven East油田47%的股权。

该最新交易完成后，bp将持有Foinaven油田100%的权益和Foinaven East油田90%的权益。

DNO拥有Foinaven East油田剩余10%的股份。

该交易计划于2022年第一季度完成。这笔交易的财务条款尚未披露。

今年4月，英国石油公司以安全问题为由决定退役Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO后，该油田的生产被暂停。

FPSO的25年使用寿命即将结束，计划于2022年退役后交还给其所有者 Teekay。

BP to buy stake in UK deepwater field from Viaro Energy

Oil major BP has signed a deal to increase its stake in the Foinaven oil field, located in the UK continental shelf (UKCS), by purchasing a 28% interest from Viaro Energy’s subsidiary RockRose.

The sale of the 28% non-operated interest in the Foinaven field forms part of RockRose’s efforts to focus on further growth opportunities in the country’s offshore sector.

Viaro CEO Francesco Mazzagatti said: “The Foinaven field is an iconic development in the UKCS, and we are proud to have played a part in its story.

“We have established a very strong production base and continue to seek opportunities to build our portfolio further as we pursue further growth in the UKCS.”

Discovered in 1990, the Foinaven field started production in November 1997.

BP operates the Foinaven area which comprises the Foinaven and Foinaven East fields. It holds a stake of 72% in the Foinaven field and a 43% stake in Foinaven East field.

RockRose Energy holds the remaining 28% interest in the Foinaven field and holds a stake of 47% in the Foinaven East field.

Upon completion of the latest transaction, BP will hold 100% interest in the Foinaven field and 90% interest in the Foinaven East field.

DNO owns the remaining 10% stake in the Foinaven East field.

The transaction is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2022. The financial terms of the deal were undisclosed.

In April this year, the field’s production was suspended following a decision by BP to retire the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO on the grounds of safety issues.

The FPSO, which is nearing the end of its 25-year design life, is scheduled to be handed back to its owner Teekay in 2022, once it has been decommissioned.
