Will Bain: 今天节目将讨论埃克森美孚和雪佛龙为争夺圭亚那石油财富而进行的斗争。两家最大的能源公司正在伦敦的法庭上激烈争夺一个巨大的新石油项目,分析师认为该项目可能价值一万亿美元。 Irfan Ali: 圭亚那正处于转型时期,能源、基础设施建设、教育、医疗和住房领域都有大量投资。政府正在投资关键领域,以推动国家的未来发展,而这个未来不仅仅依赖石油和天然气,更在于一个多元化的经济。圭亚那的转型不仅要利用石油和天然气的收入来实现经济多元化,还要参与到世界正在讨论的能源转型中。目前已探明储量约110亿桶,日产量约40万桶,预计到2027年日产量将达到约120万桶,在全球储量排名中位列第17位,在拉丁美洲和加勒比地区位列第三。 Cornelia Meyer: 争议的焦点在于合资经营协议(JOA),该油田45%的股份由埃克森美孚拥有,30%由赫斯拥有,25%由中国的中海油拥有。合资经营协议规定,如果一方出售其股份,埃克森美孚和中海油有优先购买权。雪佛龙试图收购赫斯公司,因此介入此事,但这并非直接出售股份,而是并购整个公司。协议规定,如果有人购买油田资产,他们才有优先购买权,而购买整个公司则不同。伦敦国际商会仲裁庭将就此进行辩论,预计三个月内会有结果。对冲基金强烈押注雪佛龙将胜诉,因为如果雪佛龙败诉,全球所有的合资经营协议都将被重写。无论结果如何,每个人都将不得不重新审视这些条款,看看它们是否仍然有效,这对石油行业来说意义重大。该油田储量达110亿桶,非常巨大,对欧佩克来说,巴西、圭亚那和美国不断涌现的新油田,使得欧佩克更难维持市场稳定。 Bill Dinning: 像这样的发现非常罕见,而且这个油田的开采难度相对较低,因此对这些公司的股东来说非常有趣。短期内,石油市场的问题在于欧佩克+是否会增产,而他们似乎可能会这样做,这已经对油价产生了影响。油价在过去12个月下跌了约15%-20%,这对宏观经济也有影响,能源价格对市场通胀预期非常重要。
