Equinor bought Suncor Energy UK Limited for $850 million following the signature of a landmark deal.
This agreement comprises Suncor employees based within the UK working with these assets, in addition to an unoperated interest of 29.89 percent in the working Buzzard oil field and another 40% active part within Rosebank.
“This deal aligns with Equinor’s plan of enhancing our oil and gas portfolio while also deepening its presence in our relationships with our key countries. We’re building on our history of being an energy supplier to the UK and enhancing our reputation to be a trusted energy service provider throughout Europe and ensuring that we continue to achieve our goal of becoming a zero-carbon enterprise,” said Philippe Mathieu, the executive vice president of Exploration and Production International.
The acquisition will boost equity shares by around 15,000 barrels, equivalent to oil per day, by 2023. The purchase will also generate synergies with Equinor’s current operations.
The acquisition will add 40% to the operated portion of part Rosebank complex. The Rosebank partners plan to announce an investment decision by 2023, subject only to UK Government and partners’ acceptance. Rosebank is being constructed as per the UK Government North Sea Transition arrangement. The consideration of USD 250 million is contingent on Rosebank’s final investment selection. It is subject to regulatory approvals.
