中国新闻网讯 据道琼斯4月7日消息，知情人士透露，荷兰皇家壳牌有限公司正在洽谈计划收购英国天然气集团公司（BG）。
　　天然气生产商BG的市值约为310亿英镑（合460亿美元），意味着这笔潜在交易可能是今年规模最大的并购交易之一。
　　这将成为能源领域非常稀少的一宗特大型并购交易。据Dealogic称，今年一季度全球油气并购交易额仅为191亿美元。
　　今年2月份，BG集团表示，为调整以适应油价的大幅下挫，公司将油气资产的价值减记近90亿美元。
　　壳牌也已经采取措施以应对较低的大宗商品价格。今年1月，壳牌表示，公司将未来三年的计划投资额削减了150亿美元，并缩减了页岩领域的投资。
　　壳牌的市值为1924亿美元。

　　Royal Dutch Shell in Talks to Buy BG Group
　　By Dana Mattioli And Shayndi Raice
　　Royal Dutch Shell PLC is in talks to acquire BG Group PLC, according to people familiar with the matter.
　　BG, a gas producer, has a market capitalization of GBP31 billion ($46 billion), meaning a deal for the company would be one of the year's biggest.
　　It would be a rare megadeal in the energy patch. In the first quarter, there were only $19.1 billion in oil and gas deals, according to Dealogic.
　　In February, BG Group said it was writing down the value of its oil-and-gas assets by nearly $9 billion, as the company adjusts to the plunge in oil prices.
　　Shell also has taken steps to adjust to lower commodity prices. In January, the company said it would curb its planned spending over the next three years by $15 billion and scale back on shale investments.
　　Shell has a market capitalization of $192.4 billion.
