Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shingis using two of his listed companies toinject $1.3bn into Canadian oil producer Husky Energy, as the fall in crudeprices weighs on the group.

香港富豪李嘉誠(LiKa-shing)正通過旗下兩家上市公司向加拿大石油生產商赫斯基能源(Husky Energy)注入13億美元。原油價格下跌正給後者造成巨大壓力。

Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings and Power Assets Holdings will buy a65 per cent stake in oil storage assets with a capacity of 4.1m barrels of oiland 1,900km of pipeline in the Lloydminster region, the companies saidyesterday.

相關公司昨日表示，長江基建(CheungKong Infrastructure)和電能實業(Power Assets Holdings)將買入勞埃德明斯特地區儲油資產65%的股份，這些資產包括410萬桶的石油儲存能力和1900公里的輸油管線。

CKI Holdings and cash-rich Power Assets are part of Mr Li’s vastbusiness empire that ranges from ports, property and energy assets in Asia totelecommunications businesses in Europe. Mr Li, who is Hong Kong’s richest man,also holds a controlling 29.31 per cent stake in Husky Energy.

從亞洲的港口、房地產和能源資產，到歐洲的電信企業，李嘉誠擁有龐大的商業帝國，長江基建和現金充裕的電能實業是這個商業帝國的組成部分。身爲香港首富的李嘉誠還持有赫斯基能源29.31%的控股股份。

In the joint venture formed by the three companies, Husky will own 35per cent, CKI Holdings 16.25 per cent and Power Assets 48.75 per cent.

在三家企業組建的合資企業中，赫斯基能源將持有35%的股份，長江基建將持有16.25%的股份，而電能實業將持有48.75%的股份。

The Move was akin to a cash injection into the ailing oil producer,which reported its third consecutive quarter of losses on Monday, analystsnoted.

分析師指出，此舉相當於向這家問題纏身的石油生產商注入現金。週一，該公司報告連續第三個季度出現虧損。

US crude averaged $33.63 a barrel in the first three months of the year,according to Bloomberg, down from $48.57 a barrel a year earlier.

根據彭博(Bloomberg)的數據，今年第一季度美國原油價格爲平均每桶33.63美元，低於一年前的每桶48.57美元。
