This includes a $300 million payment at completion, and contingency payments of up to $100 million, tied to the handover of the Julimar Phase 3 Project and subsequent production performance.Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) and Woodside Energy Group Limited (NYSE:WDS) finalized an asset swap deal on Wednesday.
雪佛龍公司（紐交所代碼：CVX）與伍德賽德能源集團有限公司（紐交所代碼：WDS）在週三達成了一項資產置換協議。
What Happened: Woodside will transfer its 13% non-operated interest in the Wheatstone Project and its 65% operated interest in the Julimar-Brunello Project in Western Australia.
發生了什麼：伍德賽德將轉讓其在西澳洲的小麥石項目中13%的非運營權益以及在朱利瑪爾-布魯內洛項目中65%的運營權益。
In return, Woodside will acquire Chevron's 16.67% stakes in the North West Shelf Project and the NWS Oil Project, along with a 20% interest in the Angel Carbon Capture and Storage Project.
作爲回報，伍德賽德將獲得雪佛龍在西北海棚項目和NWS石油項目中的16.67%的股份，以及在天使碳捕集與儲存項目中的20%的權益。
Additionally, Chevron will make a cash payment to Woodside of up to $400 million. This includes a $300 million payment at completion, and contingency payments of up to $100 million, tied to the handover of the Julimar Phase 3 Project and subsequent production performance.
此外，雪佛龍還將向伍德賽德支付最高達40000萬的現金。這包括在交易完成時支付的30000萬和與朱利瑪爾第三階段項目的移交及後續生產表現相關的最高10000萬的應急支付。
Additionally, cashflows of around $400 million are forecasted from utilizing depreciable tax bases upon completion.
此外，預計在完成後可利用可折舊稅基產生約40000萬的現金流。
Chevron will also provide Woodside with a $100 million advance payment upon execution of the transaction, which is refundable by Woodside if the transaction is not complete.
雪佛龍還將在交易執行時向伍德賽德提供10000萬的預付款，如果交易未完成，伍德賽德可退還此款項。
The transaction is expected to close in 2026 since it is contingent upon the completion of the Julimar Phase 3 Project execution and handover.
由於交易依賴於朱利瑪爾第三階段項目的執行和移交，預計該交易將在2026年完成。
Why It Matters: The Julimar Phase 3 Project is currently in the execution phase. Woodside will continue to manage it until the asset is transferred to Chevron at the project start-up.
爲什麼這很重要：朱利瑪爾第三階段項目目前處於執行階段。伍德賽德將在資產轉移給雪佛龍之前繼續管理該項目。
Woodside CEO Meg O'Neill said, "This transaction simplifies our portfolio, improving our focus and efficiency by consolidating our position in our operated LNG assets. It is immediately cash flow accretive and includes a cash payment upon both execution and completion."
伍茲海德首席執行官梅格·奧尼爾表示："這項交易簡化了我們的投資組合，通過鞏固我們在經營的液化天然氣資產中的地位，提高了我們的專注度和效率。這對現金流的增加是立竿見影的，執行和完成時都會有現金支付。"
"This year, the North West Shelf Project and its Karratha Gas Plant celebrated 40 years of operations. The Western Australian Government's recent decision to extend the environmental approval for the North West Shelf Project supports its ongoing contribution to reliable energy supply for local and global customers."
"今年，西北海 Shelf 項目及其卡拉薩燃氣廠慶祝了 40 年的運營。 西澳大利亞政府最近決定延長西北海 Shelf 項目的環境批准，支持其爲本地和全球客戶可靠能源供應的持續貢獻。"
"This transaction creates greater opportunity to fill emerging processing capacity and maximise value accretive recovery from the North West Shelf Project."
"這項交易爲填補新興加工能力和最大化西北海 Shelf 項目的增值回收創造了更大的機會。"
"Additionally, this improves joint venture planning for decarbonization opportunities at Karratha Gas Plant. Our increased equity in the Angel CCS Project also supports future development of this large-scale, multi-user carbon capture and storage hub in Western Australia."
"此外，這改善了卡拉薩燃氣廠減碳機會的合資企業規劃。我們在天使 CCS 項目的股權增加也支持未來在西澳大利亞開發這一大型、多用戶的碳捕集和存儲中心。"
