阿根廷正在考虑对西班牙能源公司雷普索尔在阿根廷的子公司实行国有化,而这可能预示着阿根廷能源产业全面国有化的开始。中国海洋石油公司拥有阿根廷第二大能源企业50%的股份,冲击将在所难免。未来十年,全世界的能源公司可能都会对投资阿根廷缺乏安全感。

    如果弗尔南德斯一意孤行,除YPF外,其他几家能源公司也将难以幸免,陆续面临着资产被迅速国有化的风险。雪佛龙(Chevron)、道达尔(Total)和埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)是在阿根廷开展业务的三大国际能源公司,但是与自身规模相比,它们在阿根廷的产量则显得微不足道。道达尔在阿根廷日产石油约86,000桶,占总产量的4%,在阿根廷的投入最大。雪佛龙位居第二,日产石油约27,000桶,占总产量的1%。埃克森美孚未公布其在阿根廷的产量,但它最近与加拿大的美洲天然气公司(Americas Petrogas)签署了协议,在页岩气项目上投资7,600万美元。

    另外,一些小型石油企业也将遭殃。阿帕奇(Apache)在阿根廷的产量占其总量的6.4%。巴克莱银行(Barclays)分析师指出,2012年,阿帕奇的产量将增长12%。本周一,受雷普索尔国有化消息影响,阿帕奇股价大幅跳水,但此后又出现小幅回升。幸运的是,阿帕奇在阿根廷的产量只占去年总收入的3%。总体看来,阿帕奇在阿根廷的资产占其总储量的4%左右。位于俄克拉荷马州的WPX能源公司是另外一家在阿根廷开展业务的美国公司,在阿根廷日产石油9,500桶,占公司总产量的4.1%。

    加拿大能源公司Azabache Energy和Madalena Ventures的损失最为惨重,因为它们几乎将全部能源资产都集中在了阿根廷。雷普索尔国有化公告发出后,这两家规模相对较小的能源公司股价暴跌。Azabache的忧虑最深——与雷普索尔的遭遇类似,阿根廷政府已经对它发出警告,要求它加大油田投资,否则油田将面临着被国有化的风险。美洲天然气公司位于阿根廷南部油气资源丰富的内乌肯省,占地面积达210万英亩,是加拿大在阿根廷的又一家单一业务公司,规模超过上述两家公司。上述几家公司表示,它们并不担心土地被收回,但是从本周的股价可以看出,投资者对这番表态并不买账。

    此外,阿根廷边境线以南的许多拉丁美洲石油公司也在为他们的阿根廷资产担惊受怕。墨西哥国有石油公司墨西哥国家石油公司(Pemex)拥有雷普索尔10%的股份,他们已经受到冲击。私人企业布里达斯能源公司(Bridas Energy)借助其泛美洲能源(Pan American Energy)分支机构,成为紧随YPF之后的阿根廷第二大能源公司。虽然布里达斯能源公司是私有企业,但是其50%股份由中国大型国有能源公司中国海洋石油公司(Cnooc)公司拥有。此外,上个月,阿根廷某省因为投资匮乏,撤销了油田特许,使巴西国家石油公司(Petrobras)的子公司——巴西国家石油公司阿根廷分公司陷入恐慌,造成当月股价下降约9%左右。

    或许,阿根廷的国有化目标远不止勘探和生产企业。阿根廷最大的管道运营商Transportadora de Gas del Sur似乎也将成为费尔南德斯在能源野心驱使下的又一块“肥肉”。与YPF类似,TGS此前也是政府控股的公司,于二十世纪九十年代末被私有化,拥有数条天然气出口的重要管道。由于担心成为下一个被国有化的目标,本周TGS公司股份下跌了10%。

    最终,费尔南德斯将控制阿根廷的整个石油行业;但是,她无须立即采取行动。在对目标下手之前,她可以不动声色地等着这些公司自己完成所有艰难的前期工作,然后再突然动手,发动致命一击。有报告称,政府官员已经给其他能源公司吃了定心丸,但实际上政府的保证已大打折扣。如果阿根廷的参议院就国有化雷普索尔所持股权投票,未来十年,全世界的能源公司都会对在阿根廷开展业务丧失安全感。

    Beyond YPF there is a smattering of energy companies that could soon find their properties suddenly taken away from them in the next few months if Fernandez has her way. Chevron (CVX), Total (TOT) and ExxonMobil (XOM) are the three major international energy companies with activities down in Argentina, but their exposure to the country is pretty small compared to their size. Total has the biggest exposure as it produces 86,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, which represents around 4% of the company's total production. Chevron is next with 27 Kboe/d, representing around 1% of its production. ExxonMobil doesn't show any production from Argentina but it did recently sign a deal with Canada's Americas Petrogas to spend up to $76 million for a stake in a shale gas project.

    Outside the majors there are a number of smaller oil companies that could get burned by Argentina. Apache (APA) derives 6.4% of its production from its Argentine assets. Production is slated to grow by 12% in 2012, according to the analysts at Barclays. Its shares fell hard Monday on the Repsol news but have since recovered slightly. Luckily for Apache, its Argentine production made up just 3% of the firm's total revenue last year. Overall, its Argentine assets make up around 4% of its reserves. Oklahoma-based WPX Energy (WPX) is another U.S. independent with exposure to Argentina. It produces around 9.5 Kboe/d in the country, making up 4.1% of its production.

    The Canadian energy companies Azabache Energy (AZBCF) and Madalena Ventures (MDLNF) have the most to lose as they basically have all their energy holdings wrapped up in Argentina. The two relatively tiny energy companies saw their stocks collapse this week following the Repsol expropriation announcement. Azabache has the most to be worried about -- it has been warned by the government, as had Repsol, to increase spending on its fields or risk losing them. Americas Petrogas is another Canadian pure play in Argentina. It is larger than the other two Canadian pure plays with a 2.1 million-acre position in Argentina's prolific Neuquén Basin in the south of the country. The companies have said that they are not worried about having their lands expropriated, but judging by their stock prices this week, investors aren't buying it.

    South of the border, there are number of Latin American oil companies that should be concerned about their Argentine assets. Pemex, Mexico's state-owned oil company, owns 10% of Repsol, so it is already feeling the heat. Privately-held Bridas Energy, through its Pan American Energy affiliate, is the second-largest energy company in Argentina behind YPF. While it is privately held, half of the company is owned by Cnooc, one of the large state-controlled Chinese energy companies. Meanwhile, Petrobras Argentina, a subsidiary of Brazil's Petrobras, was dealt a scare when an Argentine province last month revoked one of their oilfield concessions due to lack of investment. Its stock is down around 9% for the month.

    Argentina may not stop at just the exploration and production companies. Transportadora de Gas del Sur (TGS), Argentina's largest pipeline operator, seems like a tasty target for Fernandez's energy ambitions. Like YPF, TGS also was a former government-controlled company, which was privatized in the late 1990s. It operates several key pipelines that are critical to moving gas out of the country for export. The company's stock is down 10% this week on fears that it could be next.

    Fernandez could eventually wrest control of Argentina's entire oil industry, but she doesn't have to do it tomorrow. She could wait for the target companies to do all the initial hard work before swooping in for the kill. There are reports that government officials have reassured other energy companies that they are safe, but the government's word has been compromised. If the Argentine Senate votes to expropriate Repsol's holdings, the truth is that no energy company will ever feel safe to operate in Argentina for decades to come.

@Bruce的森林:正念,应该可以解释为专注当下的事情,而不去想过去这件事是怎么做的,这件事将来会怎样。一方面,这种理念可以帮助员工排除杂念,把注意力集中在工作本身,减少压力,提高创造力。另一方面,这不失为提高员工工作效率的好方法。可能后者是各大BOSS们更看重的吧。    参加讨论>>
