Paris, July 17, 2024 - TotalEnergies announces that its subsidiary TotalEnergies EP Nigeria signed a sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with Chappal Energies for the sale of its 10% interest in the SPDC JV licenses in Nigeria.
SPDC JV is an unincorporated joint venture between Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Ltd (55%), Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (30%, operator), TotalEnergies EP Nigeria (10%) and NAOC (5%), which holds 18 licenses in the Niger Delta.
Under the SPA signed with Chappal Energies:
The transaction was concluded for a firm consideration of USD 860 million. Closing is subject to customary conditions, including regulatory approvals.
"TotalEnergies continues to actively manage its portfolio in Nigeria, in line with its strategy to focus on its oil offshore and gas assets. After the launch of the Ubeta gas development on OML58 license last month, this divestment of our interest in SPDC JV licenses allows us to focus our onshore Nigeria presence solely on the integrated gas value chain and is designed to ensure the continuity of feed gas supply to Nigeria LNG in the future", said Nicolas Terraz, President Exploration & Production of TotalEnergies.
