So Ithaca buys the Chevron NS assets not premier oil as suggested a few months ago interesting production numbers new debt and P2 reserves!!
Enquest looks in better shape than Ithaca ???
Ithaca Energy Limited ("Ithaca" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it is to acquire Chevron North Sea Limited ("CNSL") for $2 billion. The transaction will add a further ten producing field interests to the existing Ithaca portfolio, four of which relate to assets operated by the Company, resulting in an approximately 150% increase in the proven and probable ("2P") reserves of the Company and a 300% increase in forecast 2019 production.
Pro-forma the transaction, Ithaca's asset base is estimated to consist of 2P reserves of approximately 225 million barrels of oil equivalent1("MMboe") plus a further 45 MMboe2of proven and probable contingent ("2C") resources associated primarily with additional near-field development and infill drilling opportunities. The enlarged portfolio, encompassing 18 producing field interests in total, is forecast to deliver pro-forma 2019 production of approximately 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (60% liquids) at an operating cost of approximately $17 per barrel of oil equivalent.
