Deal Insight
Verus Petroleum acquires UK North Sea assets from ITOCHU
Report summary
Verus Petroleum has announced that it is to acquire CIECO Exploration & Production (UK) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITOCHU Corporation for a consideration of US$400 million. The acquired assets include a 23.1% interest in the Western Isles Project, a 25.8% interest in the Hudson field, a 2.0% interest in the Brent Pipeline System, and a 1.2% interest in the Sullom Voe oil terminal. We believe that the consideration paid is fair. From a company perspective, the deal makes sense for both buyer and seller. For Verus Petroleum, it takes them close to their near-term production growth target of 20,000 boe/d and delivers a cash flow base for future growth. For ITOCHU, it sells off its assets in a region that is no longer core.
