Selskapet beholder 7,5% i Fenja, og får totalt $54,5 millioner dollar for andelen for transaksjonen til Suncor.
Fra pressemeldingen:
Faroe remains fully committed to the Fenja development and believes the entry of Suncor further demonstrates the attractiveness of the project on a stand-alone basis and Faroe’s remaining interest in Fenja will now be fully aligned with its existing 7.5% working interest in the Greater Njord Area. As detailed in the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) submitted on 19 December 2017, the operator, VNG Norge AS, expects total gross recoverable reserves from the Fenja development of approximately 97 million barrels of oil equivalent (72% of which is oil).
“I am very pleased to welcome Suncor, a significant global integrated energy company, into the Fenja joint venture. Suncor’s acquisition of a 17.5% stake in Fenja from Faroe confirms our belief in the attractiveness of this project. We look forward to working together with Suncor as the Fenja project progresses to first oil.
“This transaction marks a major milestone for Faroe, which has taken Fenja through exploration and appraisal drilling to predevelopment work and validates Faroe’s business model of generating tangible shareholder returns from its exploration portfolio. Having held a significant interest in PL586 from its discovery, Faroe has now generated cash returns through a partial-monetisation while still giving shareholders exposure to future cash flows from a continuing interest in this high quality project.”
