A detailed analysis in a Wood Mackenzie Insight has shown that Anglo-Dutch Oil Giant Shell, which has been operating in Nigeria for 63 years under joint venture operation as Shell Petroleum Development Company is divesting its entire Nigerian JV portfolio, including 30 percent interest in 19 oil mining leases.
The energy giant, rather than sell single OMLs, is seeking buyers for asset packages in the eastern, western and shallow water delta.
The shallow water assets include OMLs 74 & 77 (undeveloped), and OML 79 (EA Area). All of these are up for sale.
Wood Mackenzie Insight analysts say they consider only 20 per ct of this to be commercial, due to a lack of investment, crude theft, insecurity, and gas market constraints. Also, five of the OMLs are undeveloped.
Wood Mackenzie says the valuation of Shell’s 30% in the Nigerian JV excluding export pipelines and terminals is $2.3 billion, NPV10, Jan 2021, US$50 long-term oil price.
