Royal Dutch Shell Commences Major Divestment of Assets in Nigeria

Nigerian independent producer Heirs Oil & Gas Ltd. plans to restore an oil block acquired from Royal Dutch Shell Plc to its former output levels to make it one of the country’s biggest local operators.
Heirs finalized last month its purchase of an operating stake in a permit known as Oil Mining Lease 17 in a deal worth more than $1 billion. The transaction is the latest in which Nigerian firms have bought onshore or shallow offshore licenses from international oil majors that are reducing their exposure to risks associated with community relations and increasingly focused on developing deep offshore acreage.
“Our focus is to try to take this asset back to its peak production levels within a reasonable timeframe,” Heirs Chief Financial Officer Samuel Nwanze said in an interview. While Shell once pumped more than 100,000 barrels a day from OML 17, the block’s current output is less than 30,000, he said.

Abuja, 28 Jan. 2021 Afreximbank has disbursed 250 million dollars as part of its support for Trans Niger Oil and Gas Ltd (TNOG) to acquire 45 per cent stake in Oil Mining Lease (OML) 17 onshore oilfield.
The NNPC holds 55 per cent equity in the Lease.
The disbursement is about a quarter of the financing required to enable TNOG to buy stakes in the Lease from Shell Petroleum Development Company, Total E&P Nigeria Ltd. and ENI (AGIP).
The total support package from Afreximbank – Africa Export Import Bank – is 1.1 billion dollars, it said in a statement issued in Cairo on Thursday.
It noted that with the 250 million dollar Reserve Based Lending (RBL) facility, Afreximbank was the largest lender in the acquisition process.
