Eni purchases a 32.5% stake
in the Evans Shoal gas field
offshore Australia
San Donato Milanese (Milan), November 29, 2011 - Eni announces the purchase of a 32.5% stake in the Evans Shoal gas field in the Timor Sea, Australia. The field is located offshore in the NT/P48 exploration permit in the north Bonaparte Basin, around 300 km northwest of Darwin, where there is an existing LNG plant precinct. The undeveloped Evans Shoal field, discovered in 1998, holds expected gas in place of up to 7 trillion cubic feet.
In late October 2011, Eni reached an agreement with Australian based company Santos Ltd to purchase its 40% equity share. The agreement involved an initial payment of US$ 250 million and a contingent future cash payment of up to US$ 100 million subject to a positive final investment decision (FID) for the development of Evans Shoal and the level of 2P reserves at FID. Subject to completion of the purchase of Santos’ interests, in a separate transaction, Eni agreed to sell a 7.5% equity share in exploration permit NT/P48 to Shell Development (Australia) Proprietary Limited (Shell). Both transactions are subject to normal consents and regulatory approvals.
Following completion of these transactions, the partners in the revised NT/P48 joint venture will be Eni (32.5%), Shell (32.5% and operator), Petronas Carigali (Australia) Pty Ltd (25%) and Osaka Gas Australia Pty Ltd (10%).
Eni is strongly committed to an early development of the significant and known resources in this mature exploration area, where an exploration/appraisal well is expected to be drilled and tested as early as the second half of 2012.
This acquisition represents a further step forward in Eni's growth plans in the Australasian region, after the farm-in as operator earlier this year to the Heron and Blackwood gas fields in NT/P68 exploration permit, 70 km from Evans Shoal, and the successful start-up of the operated Kitan field in the Joint Petroleum Development Area (JPDA) between Australia and Timor-Leste last October.
