据道琼斯7月29日消息,花旗集团表示,尽管油气价格已经大幅下挫,但是油气领域的并购交易仍然处于溢价的水平。花旗表示,法国道达尔已经同意以约8.8亿美元的价格向SSE公司出售北海四个天然气田20%的股权,这是今年截止目前首个海洋天然气资产出售交易。该交易的价格比花旗基于油价75美元/桶对该资产估值高出20%。花旗指出:“当前的情况看来,油气行业在进行并购交易时仍然准备使用比当前现货和期货价格更高的油价为基础进行评估。”

M&A in Oil & Gas Still Commands A Premium
Oil and gas sector M&A is still commanding a premium despite tumbling oil and gas prices, says Citigroup. Total SA agreed to sell its 20% stake in four North Sea gas fields to SSE PLC for about $880 million, marking the first offshore gas asset sale so far this year, according to Citi. It also represents a 20% premium to Citi's book value for the asset based on $75/bbl oil price. "It looks like the industry is still prepared to use oil prices above current spot/forwards when it looks to M&A."
