Perenco is looking at potential asset sale

摘要

PRIVATELY owned operator Perenco has appointed advisers as it considers a sale of its UK southern North Sea gas business. Confirmation of the move follows reports in UK newspapers last weekend that Perenco had launched a review. A Perenco spokesman said: "As part of an assessment of its future global investment priorities, Perenco is reviewing strategic options for the southern North Sea gas business, which may or may not lead to any divestments or new partnerships. At the moment it is business as usual." Current gas production is about 490 million cubic feet per day. An email obtained by Upstream that was sent by the company to staff explained Perenco launched the review after receiving a number of approaches from several oil and gas companies and infrastructure funds last year.
