據美國鉆井網站倫敦報道，英國港灣能源公司（Harbour Energy plc）透露，其普通股資本日前已獲準在倫敦證券交易所的主要市場進行交易。

在此之前，英國Chrysaor 控股公司和英國Premier 石油公司完成了全股票合并，成立了港灣能源公司。合并后的港灣能源公司是一家全球獨立油氣公司，根據其網站，它是英國最大的上市獨立油氣公司。網站顯示，港灣能源公司在北海和東南亞的油氣日產量超過20萬桶油當量。

據稱，港灣能源公司擁有廣泛的國際增長機會、強勁的資產負債表以及為進一步增長和股東回報提供資金的財務靈活性。港灣能源公司的業務顯示，它致力于負責地生產石油和天然氣來幫助滿足全球的能源需求，集團的碳強度比英國石油和天然氣生產商平均碳強度要低，并且承諾到2035年前實現零溫室氣體排放。

港灣能源公司首席執行官琳達·Z·庫克在4月1日發布的公司聲明中表示，“對港灣能源公司以及所有與Premier石油公司和Chrysaor控股公司有關的人來說，這是具有里程碑意義的一天。”

庫克在聲明中補充道，“作為英國最大的獨立上市石油和天然氣公司，港灣能源公司為投資者提供了一個獨特的機會，將兩家互補的投資組合與北海基礎設施、具有吸引力的全球業務和強大的資產負債表結合在一起。”

Premier石油公司成立于1934年，最初在特立尼達勘探石油和天然氣。Chrysaor控股公司成立于2007年，并通過一系列收購迅速發展壯大。

Largest UK Listed Independent Oil Co Born

Harbour Energy plc has revealed that its ordinary share capital has been admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market.

The development follows the completion of the all-share merger of Chrysaor Holdings Ltd and Premier Oil plc, from which Harbour Energy was formed. The combined business is a global independent oil and gas company, and the largest UK listed independent oil and gas company, according to its website, which shows that the entity produces over 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day from the North Sea and South East Asia.

Harbour Energy is said to have a broad set of international growth opportunities, a strong balance sheet, and the financial flexibility to fund both further growth and shareholder returns. The business notes that it is committed to producing oil and gas responsibly to help meet the world’s energy needs and that the group has a lower carbon intensity than the average UK oil and gas producer, as well as a commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.

“This is a landmark day for Harbour Energy and all of those involved with Premier and Chrysaor,” Linda Z Cook said in a company statement published on April 1.

“As the largest UK listed independent oil and gas company, Harbour offers a unique opportunity for investors, bringing together two complementary portfolios with a material North Sea foundation, an attractive global footprint and a strong balance sheet,” Cook added in the statement.

Premier Oil was established in in 1934, initially to explore for oil and gas in Trinidad. Chrysaor was founded in 2007 and grew rapidly through a series of acquisitions.
