一个由能源和商品公司Vitol领导的财团已向Citgo Petroleum的母公司PDV Holding提出了超过100亿美元的出价。
The bid comes as competition intensifies for Venezuela's most prized foreign asset, reported Reuters, citing two sources familiar with the offer.
据路透社报道，竞争加剧了委内瑞拉最珍贵的外国资产的竞争加剧，并引用了两种熟悉这一提议的消息来源。
Submitted during the final hours of an auction organised by a US court, the bid includes about $5bn in cash and the remainder in credit bids for up to 14 claims.

拍卖由特拉华州一名法院官员监督，目的是在委内瑞拉的资产征收和债务违约后，要求债权人索赔近190亿美元。
US refiner Citgo's 807,000bpd refining network and associated facilities are PDV Holding's sole assets.

The Vitol-led offer also proposes approximately $2bn for defaulted Venezuelan bondholders.

Despite being the highest known bid, Vitol's proposal is not guaranteed to win, as financial robustness and certainty of deal closure are also under scrutiny.

After a previous bid by Vitol was outdone by a $7.3bn offer from an Elliott Investment Management affiliate, Vitol returned with a new bid earlier this year. However, Red Tree Investments won that round with a $3.7bn offer and an agreement to pay bondholders.
在Vitol的先前出价后，Elliott Investment Management会员的73亿美元要约超过了，Vitol今年早些时候获得了新的出价。但是，红树投资以37亿美元的优惠和向债券持有人付款的协议赢得了这一轮。

尽管赌注很高和最后一分钟的竞标战，但Citgo的估值可能会受到最近的表现下滑的影响，去年的利润从2023年的200亿美元下降到3.05亿美元。
In May 2025, Vitol entered a term sale and purchase agreement with Oman LNG.
