Royal Dutch Shell PLC said Thursday it has agreed to sell its
45% stake in the Malampaya gas field offshore Philippines to Udenna
Corp. for up to $460 million.
The Anglo-Dutch energy major said it has signed an agreement to
sell Shell Philippines Exploration B.V., which holds the 45%
interest in the producing Malampaya field.
Shell will be paid a base consideration of $380 million, plus up
to $80 million between 2022 and 2024 subject to asset performance
and commodity prices.
The sale is expected to be completed by the end of 2021.
"Today's announcement is consistent with Shell's efforts to
shift our Upstream portfolio to one that is focused on nine core
positions," Shell's Upstream director Wael Sawan said.
Udenna --a holding company for the interests of Philippines
businessman Dennis Uy-- already owns a 45% interest in the
Malampaya license, with the remaining 10% owned by the Philippine
National Oil Company Exploration Corp.
Shares in Shell at 0935 GMT were down 14.8 pence, or 1.1%, at
1,310.0 pence.
