VOA慢速英語(yǔ)：美國(guó)石油巨頭空手離開俄羅斯

Oil and gas giant Exxon Mobil has pulled out of Russia entirely after seven months of discussions over an orderly transfer of a 30 percent stake in the mega-project Sakhalin-1.
石油和天然氣巨頭埃克森美孚在就有序轉(zhuǎn)讓 Sakhalin-1 大型項(xiàng)目 30% 股權(quán)進(jìn)行了七個(gè)月的討論后，已完全退出俄羅斯。

Exxon did not disclose whether it received any compensation for assets worth more than $4 billion. A spokesman for Exxon declined to comment on whether the company had taken steps to bring the case to international arbitration. This is the option mentioned in August.
 
"We have made every effort to engage with the Russian government and other stakeholders," an Exxon Mobil spokesman said.
“我們已盡一切努力與俄羅斯政府和其他利益相關(guān)者接觸，”埃克森美孚發(fā)言人說(shuō)。
 
The company said it had "safely left Russia" after the government "unilaterally terminated" its interest in the Sakhalin-1 oil and gas project, the country's largest project. Since March 1, ExxonMobil has been trying to ditch Sakhalin-1 operations, leaving room for the possibility of selling more than $4 billion in assets at the Sakhalin-1 project.
該公司表示，在政府“單方面終止”其在該國(guó)最大項(xiàng)目 Sakhalin-1 石油和天然氣項(xiàng)目中的權(quán)益后，它已“安全離開俄羅斯”。自 3 月 1 日以來(lái)，?？松梨谝恢痹噲D放棄 Sakhalin-1 的運(yùn)營(yíng)，從而為出售Sakhalin-1 項(xiàng)目超過(guò) 40 億美元資產(chǎn)的可能性留有余地。
 
The airline said it would "closely coordinate" the transfer of operations with its partners - Russia's Rosneft, India's ONGC Videsh and Japan's SODECO - to ensure process safety.

On October 7, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to take control of ExxonMobil's stake in an oil production joint venture and transfer it to a government-controlled company. Exxon has reduced operations in Russia since 2014 after Moscow annexed the Crimea peninsula from Ukraine.
10月7日，俄羅斯總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾·普京簽署法令，控制埃克森美孚在一家石油生產(chǎn)合資企業(yè)的股份，并將其轉(zhuǎn)讓給一家政府控制的公司。自 2014 年以來(lái)，在莫斯科從烏克蘭吞并克里米亞半島后，?？松梨跍p少了在俄羅斯的業(yè)務(wù)。

By July, production at the Sakhalin-1 project had fallen to 10,000 bpd from 220,000 bpd before the Ukrainian war. That volume is just enough to supply gas to keep the lights on in Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, Russia.

ExxonMobil said about 700 employees maintaining operations in Russia will be transferred to a new Russian company to take over the project.
埃克森美孚表示，在俄羅斯維持運(yùn)營(yíng)的約 700 名員工將被轉(zhuǎn)移到新的俄羅斯公司接管該項(xiàng)目。
