Statoil ASA: Reduced equity share at Agbami following redetermination
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Statoil (OSE: STL, NYSE: STO) has received an Expert calculation of revised
tract participations for the Agbami field in Nigeria. Assuming implementation,
this calculation will result in a reduction of 5.17% in Statoil's equity
interest in the field from 20.21% to 15.04%.
Statoil previously initiated arbitration proceedings to set aside interim
decisions made by the Expert. By a decision received by Statoil on 4 November
2015, the arbitration tribunal has declined to set aside the Expert's interim
decisions.
Statoil is currently assessing its position in relation to the Expert's decision
and the decision of the arbitration tribunal.
Statoil has so far made an accrual of NOK 7.5 billion. Assuming implementation
in accordance with the Expert ruling, Statoil will have to compensate other
equity owners at Agbami of about NOK 1.6 billion in addition to the accrual as
of end third quarter 2015. Eventual settlement of any imbalance amount will be
made over time through cash-calls issued by the unit operator.
