据7月25日能源之声报道称，壳牌最终同意出售其在印尼近海Masela许可证中35%的股份，该许可证包括阿巴迪天然气项目。

印尼公司Pertamina Hulu Energy和马来西亚国家石油公司将从壳牌上游海外服务公司（SUOS）购买股份。壳牌将获得3.25亿美元，另一笔3.25亿加元的或有付款将根据最终投资决定（FID）到期支付。

马来西亚国家石油公司将持有Masela 15%的股份，而Pertamina将持有20%的股份。

此次出售的生效日期为2023年1月1日。壳牌表示，预计本季度将完成出售。它将需要印尼能源和矿产资源部的批准。

壳牌曾支持在Masela许可证上安装一个大型浮式液化天然气项目的计划，但印尼政府拒绝了这一提议。印度尼西亚更喜欢陆上设施，这将创造更多的国内就业机会。

阿巴迪离岸约150公里。壳牌综合天然气和上游总监表示，“出售Masela PSC股份的决定符合我们对资本纪律的关注。我们要感谢所有利益相关者，特别是印尼政府在整个销售过程中给予的支持。壳牌在印尼仍很活跃，并继续为该国的能源转型之旅积极助力”。

马来西亚国家石油公司总裁兼首席执行官Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik表示，“此次收购标志着印尼国家石油公司在印尼投资组合扩张的一个重要里程碑。我们的参与强调了支持印尼到2030年实现每天100万桶石油和每天120亿标准立方英尺天然气生产目标的承诺” 。

日本Inpex公司在Masela生产分成合同（PSC）中拥有65%的未偿股份，也是运营商。壳牌于2011年收购了Masela的股份。

拟建陆上液化天然气工厂的年产能为950万吨，它还将包括一个碳捕获和储存（CCS）设施。Inpex预测，可能在2030年代初开始在阿巴迪生产液化天然气。

Shell strikes deal to sell stake in slow-moving Abadi

Shell has finally agreed the sale of its 35% stake in the Masela licence, offshore Indonesia, which holds the Abadi gas project.

Indonesia’s Pertamina Hulu Energy and Petronas Masela will buy the stake from Shell Upstream Overseas Services (SUOS). Shell will receive $325 million with another contingent payment of $325mn due on a final investment decision (FID).

Petronas will take a 15% stake in Masela, while Pertamina will have 20%.

The sale has an effective date of January 1, 2023. Shell has said it expects to complete the sale this quarter. It will require approval from Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

Shell had backed a plan to install a major floating LNG (FLNG) project on the Masela licence but the Indonesian government rejected the proposal. Indonesia would prefer an onshore facility, which would generate more domestic employment.

Abadi is around 150 km offshore

“The decision to sell our participation in the Masela PSC is in line with our focus on disciplined capital allocation,” said Zo? Yujnovich, Shell’s Integrated Gas and Upstream Director.

“We wish to thank all stakeholders, especially the government of Indonesia for their support throughout the sales process. Shell remains active in Indonesia and continues to contribute to the country’s energy transition journey.”

Petronas president and CEO Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik said the acquisition “marks a significant milestone in Petronas’ portfolio expansion in Indonesia. Our participation underscores the commitment in supporting Indonesia’s production target to achieve one million barrels of oil per day and 12 billion standard cubic feet per day of gas by 2030.”

Japan’s Inpex has the outstanding 65% in the Masela production-sharing contract (PSC) and is also the operator. Shell acquired its stake in Masela in 2011.

The proposed onshore LNG plant would have 9.5 million tonnes per year of capacity. It would also include a carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility. Inpex has forecast it may begin producing LNG at Abadi in the early 2030s.
