據(jù)油價網(wǎng)3月2日消息稱，私募股權(quán)巨頭 KKR 和彭比納管道公司已達成一項交易，將兩家公司在加拿大西部的天然氣資產(chǎn)合并，交易價值近90億美元，以在天然氣價格飆升之際獲得優(yōu)勢。

根據(jù)協(xié)議條款，雙方為此目的設(shè)立的合資企業(yè)還將收購Energy Transfer在該地區(qū)的資產(chǎn)。

管道專業(yè)人士在一份新聞稿中表示，新公司60%的股份將由Pembina持有，而KKR將持有其余股份。彭比納將是這家名為Newco的新公司的經(jīng)理。

“我們在一起工作得很好，有著共同的投資欲望和產(chǎn)生有吸引力的回報。這家新合資企業(yè)的成立是我們關(guān)系的自然延伸，為彭比納釋放價值并創(chuàng)造另一個增長平臺。我們非常高興能與KKR共同創(chuàng)建這家令人興奮的新公司，以推動真正的協(xié)同效應(yīng)，并提供更廣泛的商業(yè)機會?！?/p>

據(jù)管道運營商稱，該交易將在加拿大西部創(chuàng)建一家具有高度競爭力的天然氣加工公司，“有能力為從阿爾伯塔省中北部到不列顛哥倫比亞省東北部的整個Montney和Duvernay趨勢的客戶提供服務(wù)。”

“我們相信，KKR 與加拿大領(lǐng)先的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施公司之一之間的資本充足、以客戶為導(dǎo)向的私人合作伙伴關(guān)系非常有能力為我們的投資者、客戶和我們經(jīng)營所在的社區(qū)創(chuàng)造價值。”

KKR, Pembina Combine Canada Gas Assets In $9 Billion Deal

Private equity giant KKR and Pembina Pipeline Corp. have sealed a deal to combine their natural gas assets in western Canada in a deal worth almost $9 billion in a bid to gain an edge amid soaring natural gas prices.

According to the terms of the deal, the joint venture the two will set for the purpose will also acquire the assets of Energy Transfer in the region.

The new company will be 60 percent owned by Pembina, the pipeline major said in a news release, and KKR will hold the rest. Pembina will be the manager of the new entity, dubbed Newco.

"Pembina has enjoyed a strong relationship with KKR as a partner in Veresen Midstream over the past four years," Pembina president and CEO Scott Burrows said.

"We work well together and share a mutual desire to invest capital and generate attractive returns. The formation of this new joint venture is a natural extension of our relationship, unlocks value for Pembina and creates another growth platform. We are extremely pleased to be creating this exciting new company with KKR to drive real synergies and deliver a wider suite of commercial opportunities."

According to the pipeline operator, the deal would create a highly competitive gas processing company in western Canada, "with the ability to serve customers throughout the Montney and Duvernay trends from north central Alberta to northeast British Columbia."

"We believe that a well-capitalized, customer-oriented private partnership between KKR and one of Canada's leading infrastructure companies is incredibly well-positioned to create value for our investors, customers and the communities in which we operate."
