Report summary
JX Nippon has sold its UK upstream business to HitecVision-backed NEO Energy for US$1.655 billion. Our valuation is above this price. This valuation discount is broadly in line with UK deal pricing this year, which has been relatively weak. Almost all our valuation is associated with the producing Culzean and Mariner fields. Despite the discount to our valuation, this is a fair exit price for JX Nippon. There are few companies in the UK who have the appetite - or firepower - to acquire a portfolio of this size. In NEO, it has found a credible buyer that has demonstrated the ability to transact and follow through on deals of scale.
