據(jù)油氣新聞網(wǎng)1月30日報(bào)道，據(jù)兩位知情人士透露，阿布扎比國家石油公司（Adnoc）預(yù)計(jì)其將于本季度上市的天然氣板塊業(yè)務(wù)，估值至少為500億美元，這為今年最受期待的上市股票之一奠定了基礎(chǔ)。

這家國有石油巨頭于去年11月宣布，將其天然氣加工部門和液化天然氣（LNG）子公司合并為一家上市實(shí)體公司Adnoc Gas。

據(jù)拒絕透露姓名的知情人士表示，Adnoc正審議Adnoc Gas至少500億美元的估值，盡管對估值的審議尚未結(jié)束，該公司尚未確定發(fā)行的規(guī)模。

他們表示，Adnoc Gas最早可能于2月啟動(dòng)IPO，而在3月底開始的齋月期間，周圍地區(qū)市場活動(dòng)將有所放緩。

Adnoc拒絕路透社的置評請求。

該公司正在加強(qiáng)對天然氣市場的關(guān)注，歐洲尋求最早在2024年年中取代所有產(chǎn)能大國能源進(jìn)口。

Adnoc Gas的估值為500億美元及以上，與意大利能源集團(tuán)埃尼、美國煉油商瓦萊羅Valero energy和美國石油生產(chǎn)商西方石油公司Occidental Petroleum大致相當(dāng)。

據(jù)另外兩名消息人士稱，時(shí)間框架的加快推進(jìn)導(dǎo)致高盛和美銀放棄了在此次上市中擔(dān)任主承銷商的角色。他們表示，匯豐已被任命與阿布扎比第一銀行就這筆交易展開合作。

根據(jù)Dealogic的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2022年，中東地區(qū)的公司通過該地區(qū)的IPO籌集了約219億美元，超過了整個(gè)歐洲、中東和非洲地區(qū)的一半。

Adnoc首席執(zhí)行官Sultan al-Jaber正在領(lǐng)導(dǎo)該公司將新能源、低碳燃料(如氨和氫)以及液化天然氣和化學(xué)品與上游和下游業(yè)務(wù)合并為一個(gè)新的業(yè)務(wù)部門。

作為阿布扎比經(jīng)濟(jì)多元化和吸引外國投資計(jì)劃的一部分，該公司4年多前啟動(dòng)了轉(zhuǎn)型戰(zhàn)略，包括資產(chǎn)貨幣化。

過去兩年，Adnoc先后將旗下石化公司Borouge、化肥和清潔氨產(chǎn)品制造商Fertiglobe和鉆井技術(shù)公司Adnoc Drilling上市。該公司正在為其物流和服務(wù)部門的單獨(dú)IPO做準(zhǔn)備。

ADNOC eyes valuation of at least $50bn for its gas business

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) is eyeing a valuation of at least $50 billion for its gas business slated to float this quarter, two sources familiar with the matter said, setting the stage for one of the most highly anticipated stock market listings this year.

The state oil giant announced in November it was combining its gas processing arm and its liquefied natural gas (LNG) subsidiary into a single listed entity.

Adnoc is eyeing a valuation of at least $50 billion for Adnoc Gas, though deliberations over valuations have not finalised and the company is yet to determine the size of the offering, said the sources close to the matter, declining to be named as the matter is not public.

They said an initial public offering of Adnoc Gas could launch as soon as February, ahead of a slowdown in market activity during the fasting month of Ramadan which begins end of March.

Adnoc declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.

The company is sharpening its focus on the gas market as Europe seeks to replace all energy imports from the third largest producer as early as mid-2024.

At $50 billion and above, Adnoc Gas' valuation would be broadly comparable to Italian energy group Eni, US Refiner Valero Energy and US oil producer Occidental Petroleum.

The expedited time frame led Goldman Sachs and Bank of America to give up their roles as lead managers in the flotation, two other sources said. HSBC has been appointed to work with First Abu Dhabi Bank on the deal, they said.

Companies from the Middle East have raised some $21.9 billion through IPOs in the area in 2022, more than half the total for the wider EMEA region, which also includes Europe and Africa, according to Dealogic data.

Adnoc Chief Executive Sultan al-Jaber is leading its push into new energy, low-carbon fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen, as well as LNG and chemicals incorporated into a new business unit alongside the upstream and downstream businesses.

The firm launched a transformation strategy more than four years ago, including monetising assets, as part of Abu Dhabi's plans to diversify the economy and attract foreign investment.

Over the past two years, Adnoc listed petrochemicals company Borouge, fertilisers and clean ammonia products maker Fertiglobe and Adnoc Drilling. It is preparing an IPO of its logistics and services unit.
