UPDATE 2-PetroChina, Petrobras pursue Aruba refinery-sources
Sat Mar 7, 2009 5:02am IS
 By Erwin Seba

HOUSTON, March 6 (Reuters) - Top Asian oil and natural gas producer PetroChina (PTR.N: Quote, Profile, Research) (0857.HK: Quote, Profile, Research) (601857.SS: Quote, Profile, Research) and Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobras (PBR.N: Quote, Profile, Research) (PETR4.SA: Quote, Profile, Research) were seen as potential bidders for Valero Energy Corp's (VLO.N: Quote, Profile, Research) refinery in Aruba, sources familiar with Valero's attempts to sell the refinery said on Friday.

Colombia's state-run oil company Ecopetrol ECO.CN (EC.N: Quote, Profile, Research) was also interested in the 275,000 barrel per day (bpd) refinery Valero put up for sale in November 2007, said another source familiar with the matter.

PetroChina's interest has been known for sometime on the island off Venezuela's coast and was even reported in a local newspaper, according to the sources.

Petrobras renewed its interest in the refinery late last year after pursuing a sale early in 2008 that ended after a January fire at the plant.

"More than one company has expressed an interest in the refinery," said Valero spokesman Bill Day, who declined to identify any of the interested companies.

Representatives from PetroChina and Ecopetrol were not immediately available. A spokeswoman for Petrobras said the company had no immediate comment.

Representatives from PetroChina have twice toured the refinery, the sources said, and a third visit had been scheduled. 

 PetroChina officials have also met government officials to discuss an exemption for the refinery from Aruba's 28-percent tax rate that expires at the end of 2010 and a tax dispute underway with Valero.

"Valero and the government can't come to agreement on the tax issue, so Valero wants to sell," one of the sources said.

Valero and Aruba are arbitrating a dispute over an additional tax the government placed on the refinery.

Valero has said it wants to sell the Aruba refinery because it cannot make finished gasoline for the U.S. market without further expensive upgrades. The company says it has already put $500 million into the plant.

Valero ships intermediate feedstock from Aruba to its U.S. Gulf Coast and East Coast refineries.

Valero's asking price, thought to be between $1 billion and $2 billion, for a refinery requiring additional billions in improvements, and the tax issues are thought to be the biggest stumbling blocks to a sale, the sources said.

Day declined to discuss a price tag for the refinery purchased for $495 million in 2004.

"We're considering our options," Day said. "We don't have to sell. If we don't get a good offer, we'll keep it."

Beginning in 2007, Petrobras pursued a purchase of the Aruba refinery.


 A sale to Petrobras was due to be announced in January 2008, but was put on hold when one of the refinery's crude distillation vacuum units was heavily damaged in a late January fire. The entire refinery was shut for about two weeks and the crude unit returned to service at the end of May 2008.

Due to an internal dispute within Petrobras, the company dropped its plans to acquire the Aruba refinery and temporarily stalled in its effort to acquire complete ownership of a 100,000 bpd Pasadena, Texas, refinery.

With the internal disagreement resolved, Petrobras is renewing its interest in the Aruba refinery, the sources. (Additional reporting by Brian Ellsworth in Caracas; Editing by Christian Wiessner)

Who told you Kermit?  I wanted to spare you.  Klaas is right on when she warns that no secrets is safe on the internet.

I concede.  I never once ... while raising that girl of mine ... instructed her that eating frog legs was a no no.  My parenting skills at the age of twenty were sorely lacking and ... now my flaws are being passed down to the next generation.

I am soooo sorry Kermit.

Former minister Elio Nicolaas grins when he is reminded of his speech in 1989 he says. "My own colleague, the Minister of Finance, denied money was laundered on the island." Nicolaas knew better. Prior to his political career he had been a police officer and had actually set up the anti-narcotics squad.

Hey wait!

Didn't someone.....................I want to say caesu...............tell us that the AG is an "oil man"?

Was he talking about Zwinkels,and or Pietersz??Wasn't J Ray Mcdermott involved with Superior Offshore??

the current PG Pietersz was called an 'oil man' in the leaked VNO report.
but this is an expression. not really meaning oil as in petroleum.

it means that PG Pietersz is working to smoothen (as in lubricate with oil) the relations between Aruba / Netherlands.
but the PG was still following the agenda from Hendrik Croes/ Nel Oduber.

[Kermit]

Paulus buddy from the old Tilburg days is the Prime Minister - Oduber 1991
