據路透社4月23日報道，圖洛石油（Tullow Oil）表示，道達爾已同意以5.75億美元的價格收購其在烏干達聯合陸上油田的全部股權，這是該公司今年籌資10億美元以解決28億美元債務的目標之一。

圖洛石油表示，通過出售該項目，公司將獲得5億美元現金，一旦項目的最終投資決定達成，圖洛將獲得7500萬美元。該公司股價自去年4月以來已下跌約90%，周三市值約為2.85億美元。

預計交易將在今年下半年完成。

道達爾首席執行官Patrick Pouyanne在一份聲明中表示:“我們很高興地宣布，我們與圖洛達成了一項新的協議。根據公司低成本來獲取長期資源的戰略，我們以不到2美元/桶的價格與烏干達就達成了財政框架協議。”

該公司表示，出售所得將用于減少公司凈債務，加強資產財務資產管理，并使公司朝著更為穩定的資本結構邁進。

Tullow exits Uganda project, sells stake to Total for $575 million

Tullow Oil (TLW.L) said that Total (TOTF.PA) has agreed to buy its entire stake in their joint onshore oil fields in Uganda for $575 million as part of its target to raise $1 billion this year to tackle its $2.8 billion debt pile.

Tullow, whose shares have shed around 90% since last April and whose market capitalisation was around $285 million on Wednesday, will receive $500 million in cash and $75 million once a final investment decision is reached on the project, it said on Thursday.

An agreement on a tax issue with the Ugandan authorities, which had delayed the sale of a smaller stake in the project to Total for months, has been reached in principle, Tullow said.

“We are pleased to announce that a new agreement has been reached with Tullow ... for less than $2 a barrel in line with our strategy of acquiring long-term resources at low cost, and that we have an agreement with the Uganda on the fiscal framework,” Total Chief Patrick Pouyanne said in a statement.

Money from the sale will be used “to reduce Tullow’s net debt, strengthening the balance sheet and moving Tullow towards a more conservative capital structure,” the company said.
