據彭博社4月28日消息稱,據彭博新聞社周三報道,阿曼國有能源公司OQ計劃出售資產,并通過國際債券市場融資,為未來5年計劃中的79億美元支出提供資金。
據彭博社報道,OQ預計不會再從國家獲得資金,到目前為止,國家已經向這家能源公司投入了86億美元。
由于油價和石油需求在去年春天疫情伊始暴跌,OQ的主要上游部門以及煉油業務在2020年遭受了損失。阿曼的OQ是2019年通過整合上游、下游和燃料營銷部門的9家公司而創建的。
阿曼的國家財政去年也遭受了很大的損失,今年也將繼續遭受損失。
阿曼是一個非歐佩克產油國,也是歐佩克+聯盟的一員,受到2020年油價和需求暴跌的嚴重打擊,正在尋求在削減政府支出的同時籌集更多資金。
惠譽國際評級去年12月表示,阿曼的財政赤字預計將在2020年翻一番,達到國內生產總值(GDP)的18%,到2024年將縮減至GDP的7%。惠譽警告稱,阿曼的財政計劃面臨巨大的實施和融資風險。
本月早些時候,彭博社報道,阿曼政府正在考慮幾種方案來填補不斷擴大的預算漏洞,包括通過首次公開募股(IPO)出售OQ的股份。
OQ在13個國家開展業務,積極從事石油勘探和生產,以及燃料和石化產品。目前,它完全為阿曼政府公司所有。

Oman's National Oil Firm To Sell Off Assets To Fund $8 Billion In Spending
Oman’s state-held energy company OQ looks to sell assets and tap the international debt market in order to fund its planned US$7.9 billion expenditures over the next five years, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, quoting a bond prospectus it had seen.
OQ does not expect to receive funding from the state anymore, which has so far poured as much as US$8.6 billion in the energy firm, according to Bloomberg.
OQ suffered losses in 2020 at its major upstream division as well as the refinery business after oil prices and oil demand crashed at the start of the pandemic in the spring of last year. Oman’s OQ was created in 2019 through the integration of nine companies in the upstream, downstream, and fuel marketing sectors.
Oman’s state finances also suffered a lot last year and continue to suffer this year, too.
Oman, a non-OPEC oil producer which is part of the OPEC+ alliance, has been hit very hard by the oil price and demand crash in 2020, and is looking to raise additional funding while it is cutting government expenditure.
Oman’s fiscal deficit was expected to double to 18 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020, before narrowing to 7 percent of GDP by 2024, Fitch Ratings said in December, warning that Oman’s fiscal plan faced large implementation and funding risks.
Earlier this month, Bloomberg reported that the government of Oman was looking at several options to plug the widened budget hole, including selling a stake in OQ via an initial public offering (IPO).
OQ operates in 13 different countries and is active in oil exploration and production as well as fuels and petrochemicals. For now, it is wholly owned by the government of Oman.?
