Repsol Eyes Exxon US Gulf Assets

摘要

Preferential rights held by existing partners are the main obstacle for Exxon Mobil in its attempt to finalize a deal to sell several assets in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico, according to industry sources. Spanish major Repsol has emerged as the most serious potential buyer of Exxon’s marketed Gulf assets. Sources familiar with Repsol’s thinking tell Energy Intelligence that the company is still considering a potentially “big transaction” for the Exxon package.
