埃克森美孚今年以 600 亿美元完成了对先锋自然资源公司的收购，目前正在探索出售二叠纪盆地的遗留常规资产。
埃克森美孚公司正在探索出售二叠纪盆地的部分常规资产。
埃克森美孚在一份声明中表示，其页岩油子公司XTO Energy “正在探索西德克萨斯州和新墨西哥州东南部精选常规资产的市场兴趣”。
埃克森美孚表示，预计在营销过程中运营将照常进行。
据报道，XTO 正在销售 Permian 中央盆地平台的资产包，根据油价，这些资产包的售价可能达到约 10 亿美元。中央盆地平台是 Permian 盆地的遗留部分，专注于常规生产。
该公司表示：“这一决定符合我们持续评估投资组合的战略。”
XTO 和埃克森美孚均在米德兰和特拉华州非常规油藏中积极开展业务，这些地区的水平页岩开发已经将二叠纪盆地变成了美国最大的产油区。
埃克森美孚以 600 亿美元收购了先锋自然资源公司，增加了米德兰盆地的深度，该交易于五月完成。
据报道，Apache 的母公司APA Corp.也在考虑出售中央盆地平台和二叠纪西北大陆架的资产。
APA 于 4 月份以 45 亿美元收购了Callon Petroleum，增强了其在米德兰和特拉华盆地的油田深度。

Exxon Mobil, which closed a $60 billion takeover of Pioneer Natural Resources this year, is exploring selling legacy conventional assets in the Permian Basin.
Exxon Mobil Corp. is exploring a sale of select conventional assets in the Permian Basin.
Exxon Mobil’s shale subsidiary XTO Energy, “is exploring market interest for select conventional assets in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico,” the Texas-based supermajor said in a statement.
Operations are expected to continue as normal through the marketing process, Exxon said.
XTO is reportedly marketing packages of assets in the Permian’s Central Basin Platform that could fetch approximately $1 billion in a sale, depending on oil prices. The Central Basin platform is a legacy part of the Permian Basin focused on conventional production.
“This decision is consistent with our strategy to continually evaluate our portfolio,” the company said.
XTO and Exxon are also both active in the Midland and Delaware unconventional reservoirs, where horizontal shale development has transformed the Permian Basin into the nation’s top oil-producing region.
Exxon added Midland Basin depth through a $60 billion acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources, which closed in May.
APA Corp., parent company of Apache, is also reportedly considering asset sales in the Central Basin Platform and the Permian’s Northwest Shelf.
APA closed its own $4.5 billion acquisition of Callon Petroleum in April, adding depth in the Midland and Delaware basins.
