Deal Insight
Waldorf Production acquires MOL's UK portfolio for US$305 million
Report summary
The deal, announced on 23 March 2022, elevates Waldorf Production to a top 20 UK Continental Shelf producer while marking MOL’s UK upstream exit. The US$305 million consideration represents a 25% discount to our base case NPV10 valuation. Despite this, it is a fair deal for both parties. MOL will offload its decommissioning liabilities and be eligible for settlement payments via an earn-out clause linked to oil prices. The majority of our valuation is associated with Greater Catcher Area, which also offers Waldorf potential upside.
