Regulatory News:
Sequa Petroleum N.V. (“SPNV”) is pleased to announce that
Sungara Energies Limited (“Sungara”) has entered into an agreement
with Sonangol Pesquisa E Produção, S.A. (“Sonangol P&P”) to
purchase a 10% participating interest in Block 15/06, 40%
participating interest in Block 23 (with operatorship), and 35%
participating interest in Block 27 (the “Transaction”). Sungara is
jointly owned by three partners: the National Petroleum Corporation
of Namibia’s subsidiary NAMCOR Exploration and Production
(Proprietary) Limited (“Namcor”), Petrolog Energies Limited
(“Petrolog”, a company affiliated with African multinational
Petrolog Group), and SPNV’s subsidiary Sequa Petroleum UK Limited
(“Sequa”).
Sungara is a new entity with a focus on Sub-Saharan African
upstream oil and gas, combining world-class technical expertise
with local capability and commitment, able to operate and develop
oil and gas assets throughout the region in line with the highest
standards of integrity, quality, governance and responsibility.
Concurrent with the Transaction, NAMCOR, Petrolog and Sequa have
signed a shareholder agreement relating to their interests in
Sungara, with equal terms and shareholdings in Sungara for each
partner. A general meeting of shareholders of SPNV will be convened
to approve its entering into the Sungara partnership.
The Block 15/06 Joint Venture comprises Eni (operator, 36.84%),
Sonangol P&P (36.84%) and SSI Fifteen Limited (26.32%). Block
15/06 is one of the most prolific blocks in deepwater offshore
Angola with current oil production of more than 100,000 barrels per
day through two large floating production and storage facilities.
Following successful exploration and appraisal in the past several
years, an ongoing development programme is forecasted to increase
production in the medium term beyond 150,000 barrels per day. The
block has further upside potential which may materialise following
future exploration, appraisal and development activity.
Sungara’s 10% participating interest in Block 15/06 provides it
with current production of more than 10,000 barrels of oil per day,
forecasted to grow beyond 15,000 barrels per day in the medium
term, 75 million barrels reserves and resources, and further upside
potential. Offshore exploration Blocks 23 and 27 also provide
upside value. The consideration for the Transaction is ca. USD 500
million which includes a contingent payment of up to USD 50
million. The Transaction is planned to be funded by Sungara through
a combination of equity contributions from each of the Sungara
partners and third party debt. The economic effective date of the
Transaction is April 2022 and completion, subject to customary
conditions and approvals, is planned to occur in 2022.
