On 11th May, Neptune Energy announced that it had agreed to acquire Engie's upstream portfolio, Engie E&P International ("EPI"). In 2011, Engie had sold 30% of EPI to China Investment Corporation ("CIC"), retaining a 70% interest in the business. As part of the transaction, Neptune Energy will pay USD3.9 billion for the 70% stake and also take over CIC's 30% stake, in return for CIC becoming a 49% shareholder in Neptune Energy. The Carlyle Group and CVC Capital Partners will together hold 51% in Neptune Energy.
The USD3.9 billion headline transaction value includes c.USD95 million of contingent payments linked to certain operational milestones. EPI will also retain the decommissioning liabilities associated with the portfolio (i.e. transferred to Neptune Energy), allowing Engie to deconsolidate c.USD1.2 billion of decommissioning liabilities from its balance sheet. The deal implies a transaction multiple of EV/2P of USD6.3/boe (based on transaction value of USD3.9 billion).
The EPI portfolio is focussed on North West Europe with additional operations in North Africa and South East Asia and includes a mix of exploration, development and production assets. However, Engie has agreed to retain the Algerian gas development as part of the deal. The portfolio will be gas weighted and is underpinned by a number of key long-term assets including Snøhvit and Njord in Norway, Cygnus in the UK, Römerberg in Germany and Jangkrik in Indonesia.
The acquisition will propel Neptune Energy into one of the largest international E&Ps with the deal expected to close at the beginning of 2018.
