据油气新闻网6月7日报道，据三位知情人士对路透表示，美国私募公司EIG Global Energy Partners正与雷普索尔就收购这家西班牙公司部分油气勘探和生产业务进行初步谈判。

据消息人士称，该美国基金公司正寻求收购雷普索尔多达25%的上游业务，这笔交易将为这家西班牙集团建设清洁能源产能（如太阳能发电厂和风力发电场）的计划提供资金。

该消息人士没有透露任何交易的价值，但分析师表示，包括债务在内，上游业务的价值在140亿欧元-180亿欧元（150亿美元-190亿美元）之间。

消息人士称，两家公司是在EIG主动提出报价后开始谈判的。由于讨论是私下进行的，这些消息人士不愿具名。他们表示，谈判可能需要数月时间，并不能保证会达成协议。

路透联系雷普索尔和EIG时，两家公司均拒绝置评。

路透社报道后，雷普索尔的股价飙升。截至格林尼治时间09:53，该指数上涨近3%，达到2008年6月以来的最高水平。欧洲范围更广的石油和天然气指数上涨0.4%。

该协议将为雷普索尔提供资金，帮助其实现到2025年低碳发电能力增加一倍以上至75吉瓦的目标。1吉瓦大约相当于一座核电站的发电量。

与其他石油公司一样，雷普索尔的上游部门结构复杂，根据其2021年度财务报表，该部门由100多个独立部门组成。

为了简化运营，该公司已出售了其在多个国家的勘探业务股份。

总部位于华盛顿的EIG专门从事能源和相关基础设施的私人投资。去年，该公司牵头的一个财团斥资124亿美元收购了石油巨头沙特阿美石油公司（Saudi Aramco）拥有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.
