Japanese mining and energy firm JX Holdings has sold some assets in the US Gulf of Mexico in response to depressed natural gas prices in North America. Up- stream arm JX Nippon Oil and Gas Explo- ration has sold interests in 19 of its 32 US Gulf projects to US independent Black Elk Energy. The stakes in the assets, all of which were producing, ranged from 7% to 100%. No transaction price was disclosed. “With the decrease in gas prices, these projects had become less profitable,” a JX spokesman said. “We will now focus on our other exploration and producing leas- es in the Gulf.”
