Dragon Oil swoops on BP's mature Egypt assets
Report summary
On 3 June 2019, BP announced that it had agreed to divest its Egyptian Gulf of Suez business to Emirates National Oil Company subsidiary, Dragon Oil, for an undisclosed consideration. The GUPCO assets have an illustrious history under BP and were once the cornerstone of Egypt’s oil production. But the fields are now mature and didn’t sit well in BP’s portfolio. For Dragon Oil, the acquisition is transformational: it increases its net production by 70% from its current output of 95,000 b/d in Turkmenistan and 5,000 b/d in Iraq.
