中国石化新闻网讯 据RZNews.com网站3月4日奥斯陆报道，德国莱茵集团（RWE）麾下的石油子公司DEA的首席执行官M·M·汉森周四在奥斯陆披露，DEA和德国化工巨头巴斯夫旗下的石油子公司温特斯豪（Wintershall）将很有可能在3月或4月签署一项旨在合并两家石油公司的最终协议。

汉森是在奥斯陆举行的一次会议上对与会者发表上述讲话的。她说，两家公司打算在今年年底前完成这笔交易并计划在交易完成以后的18个月里上市新公司。

巴斯夫公司说，这笔交易将可能在今年第三季度结束前完成。

汉森对路透社记者说，她预计在合并协议签署以后将至少需要6个月的时间来获得国家和监管部门的批准。

DEA Chief Expects To Sign Wintershall Merger In March Or April

A final deal to merge German oil firm Wintershall and DEA will likely be signed in March or April, DEA Chief Executive Maria Moraeus Hanssen said on Thursday.

The companies aim to close the deal by the end of the year, and plan to list the new firm within 18 months of the closing, she told a conference in Oslo.

Wintershall's parent, German chemicals group BASF, said on Tuesday the deal would probably close by the end of the third quarter of 2018.

Moraeus Hanssen told Reuters she expected to take at least six months to get national and regulatory approvals after the merger deal is signed.
