中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯6月3日消息，马来西亚国家石油公司周五表示，公司已经与日本JX控股公司旗下子公司JX日本石油及能源公司签署一份协议计划向后者出售其全资拥有的一个液化天然气（LNG）液化生产设施10%的股权。

马国油没有透露该协议的价值，该协议的签署是因为马国油正在削减支出和裁员以应对低油价困境。

据公司官网称，马国油在沙捞越州与合作伙伴拥有和运营着LNG工厂。

一个命名为马国油LNG 9的单元拥有位于马来西亚东部省份马国油LNG工厂内的第九条LNG液化生产线。该生产线设计产能为360万吨/年，预计在2017年第一季度正式投产，届时马国油LNG工厂的总产能将达到3000万吨/年。

Petronas to Sell 10% Stake in LNG Unit to JX Nippon Oil & Energy

By Saurabh Chaturvedi

Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Bhd. said Friday it has signed an agreement with Japan's JX Nippon Oil & Energy Co., a subsidiary of JX Holdings Inc. (5020.TO), to sell a 10% stake in a wholly-owned unit that runs a liquefied-natural-gas liquefaction facility.

The national oil-and-gas company didn't disclose the value of the deal, which comes as Petronas is cutting spending and jobs in the wake of lower oil prices.

Petronas, Malaysia's biggest firm by revenue, owns and operates LNG plants with its partners in Sarawak, according to its official website.

The unit, Petronas LNG 9 Sdn. Bhd., owns the ninth LNG liquefaction train in the Petronas LNG Complex in the eastern province. The facility, with a production capacity of 3.6 million metric tons a year, is expected to start commercial operations in the first quarter of 2017, boosting total capacity to 30 million metric tons a year, the company said.
