总代价为 2.2 亿美元，外加根据三年期间石油和天然气价格确定的或有付款部分。PL037 28% 的工作权益包括 Statfjord Unit 23.9%、Statfjord Nord 28%、Statfjord 脴st Unit 14% 和 Sygna Unit 15.4%。

“通过此次交易，我们将继续优化我们的石油和天然气投资组合，欢迎拥有晚年专业知识的工业参与者加入 Statfjord 合作伙伴关系。FLX 现场寿命延长高级副总裁卡米拉·萨尔特 (Camilla Salthe) 表示，这将有助于 Statfjord 地区在未来几年实现多元化并创造高价值。

FLX 是 Equinor 旗下的一个部门，负责通过新的工作方式安全、高效地运营晚年资产。

“结合最近对挪威韦尔斯利的收购，该交易表明了 Equinor 实现长期投资组合优化和高评级的方法，”Salthe 补充道。

2021年12月，Equinor与Spirit Energy签署协议，收购其在Statfjord地区的权益。此次收购使 Equinor 持有 Statfjord Unit 78.6% 的运营权益，V 挪威能源公司 (Vookr Energi) 持有剩余权益。与 OKEA 交易后，Equinor 将拥有 54.7% 的工作权益，并仍然是 Statfjord 油田的运营商。

自 1979 年投产以来，Statfjord 的产量已超过 51 亿桶油当量，创造的总收入超过 16750 亿挪威克朗。

“我们对 Statfjord 仍然抱有很高的期望，通过开发新的工作方式，我们的目标是将该油田的寿命延长到 2040 年，并到 2030 年减少 50% 的排放，”Salthe 补充道。

该交易的完成需获得政府的惯例批准，预计将于 2023 年第四季度完成。

The total consideration is US$220 million plus a contingent payment element based on oil and gas prices over a three-year period. A 28% working interest in PL037 gives 23.9% in Statfjord Unit, 28% in Statfjord Nord, 14% in Statfjord Øst Unit and 15.4% in Sygna Unit.

“With this transaction, we continue to optimise our oil and gas portfolio, welcoming an industrial player with late-life expertise into the Statfjord partnership. This will contribute to diversification and high value-creation from the Statfjord area in the years to come,” said Camilla Salthe, Senior Vice President for Field Life Extension, FLX.

FLX is a unit within Equinor that is responsible for safe and efficient operations of late life assets through new ways of working.

“Taken together with the recent acquisitions from Wellesley in Norway, the transaction demonstrates Equinor’s approach to long term portfolio optimisation and high-grading,” adds Salthe.

In December 2021, Equinor signed an agreement with Spirit Energy to acquire its interests in the Statfjord area. The acquisition resulted in Equinor holding a 78.6% working interest in Statfjord Unit, with Vår Energi holding the remaining interest. Following the transaction with OKEA, Equinor will have a 54.7% working interest and remain the operator of the Statfjord field.

Since production start in 1979, Statfjord has produced more than 5.1 billion boe and created gross revenues of over NOK 1675 billion.

“We still have high expectations for Statfjord and by developing new ways of working we aim to extend the lifetime of the field towards 2040 and reduce emissions with 50% by 2030,” adds Salthe.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary government approval and is expected to be completed in fourth quarter of 2023.
