UK's Centrica buys Shell stake in Statfjord

摘要

London-Centrica, Britain's biggest gas supplier, has agreed to buy Shell's interests in the Statfjord field in the North Sea for NOK1.37 billion ($225 million), almost doubling its share of the oil and gas field, the two companies said September 17. The Statfjord field straddles the border between the Norwegian and British sectors in the Tampen area of the North Sea, and Shell's share in the production of the field was 13,300 b/d of oil equivalent last year.
