中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯10月20日东京报道，日本政府的一名高级官员日前在东京表示，作为日本政府增加本国权益油气产量努力的一部分，日本政府时下正在寻求向国内石油公司有史以来首次收购国外上游公司提供财政支持。

日本经济产业省油气部门主管Yuki Sadamitsu周五在接受标普全球普氏能源资讯记者采访时说，目前的低油价环境为“收购上游股份和资产创造了一个重要的机会。由于全球投资放缓，因此，日本也有必要促进上游支出。”

Sadamitsu说，这也提供了一个机遇之窗，通过帮助他们从收购国外独立勘探和生产公司中获得油气资产股份的方式来帮助发展日本的核心上游公司。

Japan eyes acquisitions of foreign E&P firms to boost equity output

Tokyo (Platts)--20 Oct 2016

The Japanese government is looking to give financial support to acquisitions of foreign upstream companies by domestic oil companies for the first time ever as part of its efforts to boost the country's equity oil and gas output, a senior government official said.

The current low oil price environment has created "a significant opportunity for acquiring [upstream] stakes and assets" and there was also a need to facilitate upstream spending because of slowing global investment, director of the oil and gas division at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry Yuki Sadamitsu said in an interview with S&P Global Platts on Friday.

This also offered a window of opportunity to help develop Japan's core upstream companies by helping them take stakes in oil and gas assets via acquisitions of foreign independent E&P companies, Sadamitu said.
