Keyera收购Plains All American天然气液资产一事遭到竞争局质疑

By

-- Keyera (KEY.TO) 以 51.5 亿美元收购 Plains All American Pipeline (PAA) 的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的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去年7月首次宣布收购计划时表示，此次收购将新增天然气液分馏和加工设施，以及位于加拿大西部和安大略省的2300万桶原油储存能力、1500英里长的管道和码头基础设施。 记者未能立即联系到Keyera置评。 Keyera在多伦多证券交易所的最新股价下跌3.50美元，至49.47美元。
