Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSB.LN) said Friday that it has agreed
to sell its entire stake in the West Qurna 1 oil field, Iraq, for
$406 million to Itochu Corp. (8001.TO).
The oil-and-gas company said that its Shell MP Middle East
Holdings BV subsidiary will sell its entire stake in Shell Iraq
BV--holder of a 19.6% stake in the West Qurna 1 oil field--to
Itochu.
Itochu will also assume $144 million of debt as part of the
transaction, Shell said, adding that the sale forms part of its $30
billion divestment program.
Shell said that the sale is expected to complete in the next few
days, and the deal has a backdated sale date effective from Dec.
31, 2015.
