最新消息：Keyera收购Plains All American天然气液资产的交易受到竞争局质疑

By

-- （第五段和第六段新增Keyera的评论；更新股票信息。） Keyera (KEY.TO) 以51.5亿美元收购Plains All American Pipeline (PAA) 加拿大天然气液资产的交易遭遇官方阻力。加拿大竞争局周二表示，已向竞争法庭提交申请，对该交易提出质疑。 竞争局在一份声明中表示，他们认为“拟议交易可能会损害天然气液加工和储存领域的竞争，尤其是在加拿大主要天然气液加工和储存枢纽——阿尔伯塔省萨斯喀彻温堡”。 竞争局表示，此次向竞争法庭提交申请是基于一项调查，该调查得出结论，此次收购将消除萨斯喀彻温堡市场的一个主要竞争对手，并加剧市场集中度。竞争局还表示，合并后的公司将“有能力提高价格、施加更不利的合同条款、减少扩大产能的激励措施，并进一步巩固对关键基础设施的控制”。 Keyera公司去年7月首次宣布收购计划时表示，此次收购将为其在加拿大西部和安大略省新增天然气液分馏和加工设施，以及2300万桶原油储存能力、1500英里管道和码头基础设施。 Keyera在一份声明中表示，周二开市前不久，公司收到了加拿大竞争局的申请。公司称，竞争局的质疑不会阻止其完成收购，并对相关指控表示异议。 “公司不同意竞争局局长对本次交易的断言和描述，并将对该申请作出回应。正如公司此前所言，本次交易将加强整个盆地的竞争，并为客户提供更便捷的关键市场准入渠道，以及在产品处理、运输和销售方面更大的灵活性。”声明中写道。 Keyera股票在多伦多证券交易所的最新报收于50.80加元，下跌2.17加元。
