ConocoPhillips to Divest Some Australia Assets
ConocoPhillips reported Sunday that it has agreed to sell the subsidiaries holding its Australia-West assets and operations to Santos Limited for US$1.39 billion, plus closing adjustments.
The Australia-West assets include ConocoPhillips’ 37.5-percent interest in the Barossa project and Caldita Field, its 56.9-percent stake in the Darwin LNG facility and Bayu-Undan Field, its 40-percent ownership of the Poseidon field and its 50-percent interest in the Athena Field, ConocoPhillips noted in a written statement emailed to Rigzone.
“We are extremely proud of our work in Australia-West over the 20 years,” noted Matt Fox, ConocoPhillips’ executive vice president and chief operating officer. “We are pleased that Santos recognizes the value of the existing business as well as the opportunity to develop Barossa and thereby continue Darwin LNG’s operations for another 20-plus years. We believe these projects will generate the highest long-term value to ConocoPhillips.”
ConocoPhillips stated the assets being sold produced approximately 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day for the first half of 2019. Moreover, the company noted the assets’ proved reserves were roughly 39 million boe at the end of 2018. The 2019 production mix from the Australia-West subsidiaries amounts to 12 percent oil, eight percent natural gas liquids and 80 percent natural gas, according to a ConocoPhillips slide deck.
