據(jù)今日油價網(wǎng)站7月8日消息 殼牌石油的發(fā)言人柯蒂斯·史密斯向路透社記者表示，殼牌正在考慮出售位于路易斯安那州Convent的日產(chǎn)24萬桶煉油廠，作為重塑其煉油業(yè)務(wù)組合的更廣泛戰(zhàn)略的一部分。

了解路易斯安那州煉油廠運營情況的消息人士向路透社表示，殼牌公司負(fù)責(zé)制造的執(zhí)行副總裁羅賓·穆爾迪克已向員工表示，殼牌可能會將煉油廠出售。

2017年，殼牌和沙特石油巨頭阿美石油分離了莫蒂瓦企業(yè)資產(chǎn)，殼牌成為Convent煉油廠的唯一所有者和運營商。殼牌最終完全所有Norco和Convent煉油廠，而沙特阿美則完全所有莫蒂瓦企業(yè)和位于德克薩斯州亞瑟港美國原油加工能力最大的煉油廠。

殼牌目前正在實施一項新的下游戰(zhàn)略，以重塑其煉油業(yè)務(wù)，朝著更小、更智能的煉油業(yè)務(wù)組合方向發(fā)展，重點是進一步與殼牌貿(mào)易中心、化學(xué)品和市場營銷進行整合。

作為這一戰(zhàn)略的一部分，殼牌今年早些時候以12億美元的價格將加州馬丁內(nèi)斯煉油廠出售給了PBF控股公司。

在2月份完成交易時，殼牌表示：“到2025年，我們預(yù)計將對規(guī)模較小的核心煉油廠產(chǎn)生興趣。這些核心基地的一個關(guān)鍵優(yōu)勢將來自與殼牌貿(mào)易中心的進一步整合，以及生產(chǎn)更多的化學(xué)品和其他產(chǎn)品，如瀝青和基礎(chǔ)油，在低碳的未來具有彈性。”

Shell Considers Selling Its 240,000 Bpd Louisiana Refinery

Shell is considering selling its 240,000-barrels-per-day refinery in Convent, Louisiana, as part of a broader strategy to reshape its refining portfolio, the supermajor's spokesman Curtis Smith told Reuters.

Sources with knowledge of the Louisiana refinery operations told Reuters that Shell's executive vice president of manufacturing, Robin Mooldijk, had told employees that Shell might put the refinery up for sale.

Shell became the sole owner and operator of the Convent refinery in 2017 when the supermajor and Saudi oil giant Aramco separated the assets of Motiva Enterprises. Shell ended up owning the Norco and Convent refineries, while Saudi Aramco assumed full ownership of the Motiva Enterprises LLC entity and the largest U.S. refinery in terms of crude processing capacity, Port Arthur in Texas.

Shell is now implementing a new downstream strategy to reshape its refining business towards a smaller, smarter refining portfolio focused on further integration with Shell Trading hubs, Chemicals, and Marketing.

As part of this strategy, Shell sold earlier this year the Martinez Refinery in California to PBF Holding Company for US$1.2 billion.

At the time of the finalization of the transaction in February, Shell said:"By 2025 we expect to have interests in a smaller, core set of refineries. A key advantage of these core sites will come from further integration with Shell trading hubs, and from producing more chemicals and other products resilient in a lower-carbon future, such as bitumen and base oils."
