据彭博社5月18日消息，知情人士透露，BP公司正与摩科瑞能源集团旗下的顺风能源公司就出售其英国北海海鸥油田28%股份而展开深入谈判。

　　消息人士称，两家公司可能未来几天内达成协议。去年BP曾同意以6.25亿美元将海鸥油田与安德鲁油田出售给英国第一石油公司，但这笔交易因英国第一石油公司被克莱斯勒控股公司反向收购而作罢。

　　BP在此区块还拥有安德鲁油田与另一处名为福尔里奇的油田。知情人士表示，顺风公司仅对荷兰皇家壳牌运营的海鸥油田感兴趣，目前还没有达成最终协议，谈判也可能陷入僵局。

　　一位BP代表拒绝对此发表评论，而顺风能源则没有第一时间回应评论要求。

　　彭博社3月曾报道，在与英国第一石油公司交易失败后，几家小型能源公司对这些资产表露兴趣。作为北海重要枢纽的一部分，海鸥油田日产量约为1.8万桶油当量；2004年是其产能巅峰，超过16万桶/天。

　　顺风能源成立于2016年，主要收购大公司剥离出的油气资产。该公司2018年收购了壳牌和?？松梨谠诒焙Ｖ胁康奶乩锿吞锶汗煞?，并于同年收购了依欧格资源公司的英国海上资产。

　　BP in talks to sell 28% stake in UK North Sea field

　　BP is in advanced talks to sell its 28 per cent interest in the Shearwater field in the UK North Sea to Tailwind Energy, an explorer backed by trading house Mercuria Energy Group, people familiar with the matter said.

　　The companies may reach an agreement in the coming days, sources said. BP had last year agreed to sell the Shearwater and Andrew projects to Premier Oil in a deal valued at $625 million, but this was pulled following a reverse takeover of Premier by Chrysaor Holdings.

　　BP also has the Andrew field, and another project called Vorlich, on the block. Tailwind’s interest is limited to Shearwater, which is operated by Royal Dutch Shell, the people said. No final agreements have been reached for Shearwater and the talks could falter, they said.

　　A representative for BP declined to comment, while Tailwind didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

　　After the deal with Premier Oil collapsed, a handful of smaller energy companies had shown interest in the assets, Bloomberg News reported in March. Part of an important hub in the North Sea, Shearwater produces about 18,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day, having peaked in 2004 when it pumped more than 160,000 a day.

　　Tailwind was formed in 2016 to acquire oil and gas assets that large companies were offloading from their books. It bought Shell and Exxon Mobil’s stakes in the central North Sea Triton cluster in 2018 and purchased EOG Resources’ offshore assets in Britain the same year.
