Seplat, Sahara Group, Heirs Oil in race to buy Shell’s $4 billion oil stake – Report

Shell has yet to disclose the scale of potential future costs related to litigation or decommissioning and abandoning oil wells, which could bring down the sale price.

Seplat Energy, Nigeria’s biggest energy company by market value, Sahara Group, ND Western Limited and Tony Elumelu-backed Heirs Oil and Gas are in contention to take over an equity interest said to be worth $4 billion, held by the Nigerian unit of Hague-based Oil Major, Shell Plc, via a joint venture, Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing people close to the negotiation.

The four bidders handed in the non-binding offers last month for a stake, estimated by Wood Mackenzie in August to be $2.3 billion using a long-term oil benchmark of $50 per barrel.

All the four did not comment, the outlet said.

Shell’s slice of the joint venture is 30 per cent, while state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation owns 55 per cent, TotalEnergies SE 10 per cent and Eni 5 per cent.

The company is stepping up plans to fully divest its Nigerian investment by offloading the residue of its onshore and shallow-water assets, having set the process in motion over 10 years ago.

“Shell has yet to disclose to buyers the scale of potential future costs related to litigation or decommissioning and abandoning oil wells, which could bring down the sale price significantly,” said Bloomberg, quoting an unnamed source who does not want his identity divulged.

Increasingly, Shell is disposing of its assets in Africa’s biggest producer in a bid to move to cleaner energy as part of the push to boost its climate credentials.

In November, Emeka Onwuka, the chief financial officer of Seplat, said its company was holding talks with another oil driller ExxonMobil towards purchasing its Nigerian shallow water assets.
