中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社2月23日休斯敦報道，澳大利亞礦業巨頭必和必拓公司和美國石油巨頭?？松梨诠诀庀碌陌Ｋ靼拇罄麃喒局芪逍?，他們已經放棄出售20個月前開始的出售澳大利亞數個最老和最大油田的過程。
必和必拓公司的一名女發言人在一份電郵聲明中說，兩家公司已達成一個不再出售吉普斯蘭盆地合資企業擁有的部分海上資產的決定。
兩個資源巨頭曾說，他們尋求出售13個油田、許可證以及這個盆地中擁有的相關基礎設施。
根據必和必拓公司網站，這家位于澳大利亞維多利亞州的合資企業在1969年開始運營。必和必拓公司和埃索澳大利亞公司各擁有50%的股份。
埃索澳大利亞公司在一份電郵聲明中說，在考慮了一系列選項以后，兩家公司現在已決定保留這些資產的所有權和運營。

BHP, ExxonMobil Drop Sale Of Australian Oil And Gas Assets
BHP Billiton Ltd and ExxonMobil Corp's Esso Australia said on Friday they have dropped a sale process started 20 months ago for some of Australia's oldest and largest oilfields.
"BHP and Esso have reached a decision to not progress with the sale of some offshore assets owned by the Gippsland Basin Joint Venture," a BHP spokeswoman said in an email.
The resource giants had said they were looking to sell 13 fields, licenses and associated infrastructure held in the basin.
The venture in Australia's Victoria state began operations in 1969, according to BHP's website. BHP and Esso Australia each hold a 50 percent share.
"After consideration of a range of options, we have currently decided to retain ownership and operation of these assets," Esso said in an emailed statement.
