中国油企海外并购的下一个目标是哪里？

With Cnooc Ltd.’s $15.1 billion deal in Canada, everyone is wondering: what’s next in China’s quest for energy?

中国海洋石油有限公司(Cnooc Ltd., 简称：中海油)达成以151亿美元收购加拿大油企的交易后，每个人都在思考这样一个问题：中国获取能源的下一个目标是哪里？

According to a note by brokerage Sanford Berstein from March, Chinese oil companies’ big acquisition appetite only really took off after the financial crisis, because they saw a “once in one hundred years opportunity to take advantage of cheaper assets and reduced competition. Prior to that, deal sizes were much smaller.

投资银行桑福德伯恩斯坦公司(Sanford Bernstein)今年3月份出具的一份报告显示，中国油企在金融危机爆发后才显露出对海外收购的强烈兴趣，因为它们看到，资产价格已经降低，竞争激烈程度已经减弱，这样的机会百年一遇。在此之前，中国油企的交易规模要小得多。

Energy security is of course the key driver of these deals, but Chinese oil majors also want to learn from their Western counterparts and develop more sophisticated and diversified portfolios by acquiring more upstream assets, says Bernstein. With the Nexen Inc. deal, Cnooc will gain assets in the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea for the first time, for example. Another deal announced on Monday sees Sinopec, or China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., enter the North Sea through its purchase of a 49% stake in Canada’s Talisman’s Energy Inc.’s. That gives the two firms roughly an 11% share in the U.K.’s oil and natural-gas production.
