글로벌 에너지 및 인프라 부문의 선도적인 기관 투자자인 EIG가 설립하고 관리하는 LNG 회사인 미드오션 에너지(MidOcean Energy, 이하 ‘미드오션’)가 지난 11일 SK 어스온(SK Earthon, 이하 ‘SK’)과 SK의 페루 LNG(PLNG) 지분 20%를 인수하는 최종 계약을 체결했다고 발표했다.
EIG’s MidOcean Energy to Acquire SK Earthon’s 20 Percent Stake in Peru LNG
WASHINGTON, DC, – MidOcean Energy (“MidOcean”), an LNG company formed and managed by EIG, a leading institutional investor in the global energy and infrastructure sectors, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with SK Earthon (“SK”) to acquire SK’s 20 percent interest in Peru LNG (“PLNG”). PLNG owns and operates the first LNG export plant in South America, located in Pampa Melchorita, 170km south of Lima, Peru. PLNG’s assets comprise a natural gas liquefaction plant with 4.45 mmtpa processing capacity, a fully-owned 408km-long pipeline with 1,290 mmcf/d capacity, two 130,000 m3 storage tanks, a fully-owned 1.4 km-long marine terminal and a truck loading facility with capacity of up to 19.2 mmcf/d. PLNG is operated by Hunt Oil Company and is one of only two LNG production facilities in Latin America. We believe PLNG is a highly strategic asset to the Peruvian natural gas sector, providing a key route to monetise its natural gas resources via export. It also plays an important role in supplying LNG to residential and industrial customers as well as CNG-powered vehicles in various cities across the country. The natural gas sector has become an increasingly important part of the Peruvian energy mix, underpinning electricity generation for the industrial sector as well as various applications across the residential sector. De la Rey Venter, MidOcean Energy CEO, said, “We’re excited about this acquisition as it reflects another notable step in MidOcean’s strategy to create a global, diversified and resilient LNG portfolio. PLNG is an asset we know and admire, with sound long-term fundamentals, a strong management team and reliable operations. We look forward to joining the PLNG partnership and contributing to the long-term prosperity of that venture and its work toward being a positive role in the Peruvian energy market. MidOcean also is in the process of completing its acquisition of Tokyo Gas’ interests in four Australian LNG projects for US$2.15 billion, which is targeted to close at the end of February. The PLNG transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. Morgan Stanley acted as exclusive financial advisor to MidOcean on the transaction. <저작권자 ⓒ 채널뉴스 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
