Repsol, Statoil exchange assets
USA Under the terms of the agreement, Repsol will exchange 13 percent of its stake in an Eagle Ford shale project in the US for Statoil’s 15-percent share in Norway’s Gudrun field. The deal will allow Statoil to add to its current stake in the Eagle Ford project, making it the sole operator with a 67 percent interest.
This deal endows Repsol with around $550 million in free cash flow until 2017, and allows it to maintain lower capital expenditure and have greater operational efficiency.
The financial details of the transaction have not been disclosed, but the swap has been valued at the same amount, according to Repsol’s statement.
