據烴加工新聞6月30日消息稱，兩名知情人士說，印度企業集團Essar集團公司向巴西國家石油公司提出了收購該國第二大煉油廠的約束性要約。

巴西國家控股的石油生產商巴西國家石油公司（Petrobras）已收到至少兩份收購要約，收購位于巴伊亞(Bahia)、日產32.3萬桶Landulpho Alves的煉油廠Rlam。另一份來自阿布扎比的穆巴達拉投資公司。

如果Essar的競標成功，這將標志著該集團在巴西的首次亮相。Essar公司的網站顯示，該公司已經在能源、基礎設施、采礦和服務領域投資了約280億美元的資產。

在最近給客戶的報告中，Bradesco BBI的分析師對位于巴西東北部的巴伊亞州的RLAM煉油廠的估值為25億美元。

根據巴西國家石油公司的資產出售規定，出價最高的競標者必須進行一輪延長的談判，以最終確定合同條款，談判通常會持續數周。第三位消息人士說，根據結果，可能需要進行最后一輪招標，這有可能改變競標結果。

India's Essar group places bid for Petrobras' Bahia refinery

Indian conglomerate Essar Group made a binding offer to Brazil’s Petroleo Brasileiro SA to buy the country’s second largest oil refinery, two people with knowledge of the matter said.

Petrobras, as Brazil’s state-controlled oil producer is known, has received at least two offers for the 323,000 barrels per day Landulpho Alves refinery in Bahia, known as Rlam. The other is from Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company.

If Essar’s bid is successful, it would mark the group’s debut in Brazil. Essar has invested roughly $28 billion in assets in energy, infrastructure, mining and services, according to the company’s website.

In a recent note to clients, analysts from Bradesco BBI valued the RLAM refinery, based in the northeastern Brazilian state of Bahia, at $2.5 billion.

According to Petrobras’ asset sale rules, the top bidder must enter into an extended round of negotiations, usually lasting several weeks, to finalize contract terms. Depending on the outcome, it may require a final round of bidding which could potentially change the result of the competition, a third source said.
