Carnelian罕見大甩賣 北美能源資產齊放盤



獨家報道|私募買斷公司Carnelian罕見同時出售多項能源資產,引起業界關注

據多位知情人士透露,私募買斷公司Carnelian Energy Capital正積極出售其在北美的六個油氣生產投資項目,這佔其整體投資約40%,同時也涵蓋了Carnelian支持的大部分油氣生產企業。此舉在私募行業引起不少議論,因為買斷公司通常會分散出售資產,避免一次性釋放過多資產,導致買家需求疲軟。

消息人士透露,Carnelian已經或即將在未來幾周內開始推廣或拍賣這些資產。業內人士指出,目前美國的交易市場相較於過去幾年高峰期來說較為冷淡,部分原因是對原油價格未來走勢的不確定,令上市能源公司更傾向於削減成本而非擴張。

不過,另有消息稱Carnelian此時出售的是一組持有已久的資產,當中包括庫存稀缺的油氣資源,以及天然氣生產商的股份。天然氣因為在人工智能基建中越來越受重視,需求也在增加。

據了解,這些資產的估值從數億美元到超過10億美元不等,雖然Carnelian和相關公司未公開產量數據,但這些生產商規模相對全球標準偏小。

消息人士提醒,Carnelian未必會完全出售所有資產,且他們在透露消息時要求匿名,以保護機密討論內容。Carnelian方面拒絕置評。

出售交易詳情

Carnelian總部位於德州休斯頓,由Tomas Ackerman與Daniel Goodman領導,主攻中型能源投資。其最新旗艦基金Carnelian Energy Capital V於2024年2月完成募資,規模達9.75億美元。10月,Carnelian還宣布完成一支專注加拿大能源的6億美元基金。

據六位消息人士透露,Carnelian正接近完成出售兩家投資於2020及2022年的公司:加拿大油企Hawthorne Energy,以及與另一買斷公司Old Ironsides Energy共同持有的Veritas Permian III。Old Ironsides同樣在出售其旗下的Veritas股權。

此外,Carnelian於2021年投資的天然氣企業Azul Resources已同意將部分位於Haynesville地區的資產出售給由對沖基金Citadel支持的Apex Natural Gas,彭博社上周報導了此事。

另外,Carnelian近周亦在推銷位於德州南部Eagle Ford地層的Grit Oil and Gas II,該項目是Carnelian持有最久的投資之一,始於2019年。

消息稱,Carnelian計劃於明年初推銷專注於北達科他州Bakken盆地的Zavanna Energy和加拿大生產商Parallax Energy,並已聘請摩利士(Moelis)協助出售Zavanna。

值得一提的是,Zavanna和Parallax均於去年才獲Carnelian初步承諾投資,私募基金通常會持有投資超過三年,以期資產價值增長後退出。

Carnelian旗下六家公司及Old Ironsides均未回應置評請求,Citadel和Moelis亦拒絕評論。

根據佛羅里達州管理委員會數據,Carnelian的第二至第四期基金在2024年底的淨內部收益率介乎17.2%至20.8%,表現優於行業傳統基準。

私募基金退出時機通常取決於市場環境、投資成效、買家興趣以及是否計劃募新基金。近年來,投資者越來越要求買斷公司加快資產退出速度。

評論與分析

Carnelian罕見地選擇一次性推售多家能源資產,反映出私募行業當前所面臨的多重挑戰與轉型壓力。這種策略雖然可能短時間內增加資金回籠,但也有可能因市場需求有限而壓低出售價格,損及長遠收益。

尤其是在全球能源市場仍處於不穩定階段,油價波動與天然氣需求變化交織,使得投資者在資產配置上更加謹慎。Carnelian此舉或許是其調整組合、鎖定利潤的策略,但也可能反映出對未來市場前景的謹慎態度。

有趣的是,天然氣資產因為支持人工智能基建的潛力而受到青睞,這揭示了能源行業與新興科技領域之間日益緊密的聯繫。私募基金如Carnelian若能善用這一趨勢,未來在能源轉型中仍有機會取得優勢。

然而,私募基金過快退出可能會影響資產長期價值的最大化,市場也需關注這種短期資金回籠行為是否會帶來更大波動。對香港及全球投資者而言,理解私募基金的退出節奏及其背後的市場信號,有助於更好掌握能源行業投資的風險與機遇。

總括而言,Carnelian這次罕見的多資產出售行動,不單是私募基金策略的反映,也是一個窗口,讓我們洞察當前能源市場與投資環境的複雜變化。未來私募基金如何平衡退出節奏與市場需求,將成為業界值得關注的焦點。

The same person, the same face, unaltered features. An almost hyperrealistic image with sharp detail, a stylish photograph captures a model standing against a backdrop of pristine white volcanic rocks. The stones are expertly arranged, revealing natural cracks in the beige hue. In a medium-length shot, the balance of luxury and meticulous attention to detail is striking. She wears a carefully tailored white suit: a jacket with a structured fabric, high shoulders, and precise waist trim, a deep V-neck that elegantly reveals the neckline without being contrived, and matching skirts that maintain clean lines and lend the look a classic, understated elegance. The head is covered by a wide-brimmed white straw hat, its high angle pointing forward and adorned with a bouquet of red and white roses resting on the front brim, adding a touch of drama and romance. Green eyes, professional makeup, full lips, and long, sleek blonde hair cascading over her shoulders. Her right hand lifts the brim of the hat as if adjusting it, while her left hand crosses her chest in a confident pose that reflects a strong feminine presence. The fabric's lines and texture are carefully highlighted with a long, graceful touch of movement. The fabric details are delicate and soft, with subtle ripples and hidden seams that enhance the sense of high craftsmanship. Soft lighting from the left creates a long shadow on the wall, giving the image depth and body without compromising the purity of the white. Shades of white blend with a touch of warm gray, and the red roses stand out as a focal point, adding warmth and visual dimension. The stone background creates a calming effect, allowing the fine details of the hat, suit, and roses to stand out. White volcanic stones. Natural fissures.

She is captured in a contemplative pose, with her body turned to the left, her left arm resting gracefully on the back of the chair, and her right hand gently touching her face near her lips, conveying a sense of introspection and elegance. Her long, wavy hair cascades naturally over her shoulders, framing her face and adding softness to the composition. She wears an oversized, textured knit sweater that slips off her shoulders, exposing her collarbones and upper chest, emphasizing a relaxed and intimate mood. Her legs are bare, with her right foot flat on the ground and her left knee slightly raised, creating a dynamic line that guides the viewer’s eye through the composition. *** The background is a seamless, deep charcoal or dark brown studio backdrop, providing a rich, neutral setting that enhances the dramatic lighting. The lighting setup features a single, soft yet directional light source positioned to the left of the subject, casting gentle, sculptural shadows that highlight the contours of her face, shoulders, and arms, while creating a subtle gradient across her form. The light accentuates the texture of her sweater and the natural shine of her hair, adding depth and dimension to the image. The color palette is monochromatic with warm, muted tones—shades of gray, brown, and beige—contributing to a timeless, artistic aesthetic. The image is shot with a professional full-frame camera using an 85mm or 50mm lens at a wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 to achieve a shallow depth of field, ensuring the subject is in sharp focus while the background remains softly blurred. The resolution is ultra-high, capturing every detail from the fine texture of her sweater to the subtle expression of her pose. The overall style is elegant, contemplative, and refined, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over overt glamour. Post-processing is minimal, maintaining natural skin tones, enhancing contrast and clarity, and preserving the authenticity of the scene. This portrait embodies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth, making it suitable for fine art, editorial, or fashion photography. Stylised portrait in emerald green and charcoal black palette. Grayscale realism for subject, upward gaze. Sunglasses with muted emerald reflective lenses. Jacket with ornate baroque/filigree black designs, emerald hood underneath. Textured emerald-green fabric draped below. Background: dense, overlapping hand-inked patterns in emerald, charcoal, and subtle silver — radiating lines, geometric shapes, spirals, parallel contour textures, crosshatching, organic waves, dots. Bold contrast, deep blacks, glowing emerald accents. Mixed-media pop realism. Negative prompt: no cartoon, no art style, no painting, no drawings.
