據報道，埃克森美孚公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：XOM）向Seplat Energy（場外交易代碼：SEPLF）出售資產可能會在不到兩週的時間內獲得批准。
Nigeria's oil regulator said that this would end a two-year delay since the deal was signed, reported Reuters.
路透社報道，尼日利亞石油監管機構表示，這將結束自協議簽署以來的兩年的延遲。
In 2022, Seplat Energy inked the $1.28 billion deal with Exxon and has been waiting regulatory approval since then.
2022年，Seplat Energy與埃克森美孚簽署了12.8億美元的協議，此後一直在等待監管部門的批准。

根據該報告，尼日利亞上游石油監管委員會（NUPRC）主席格本加·科莫拉夫表示：“視會議結果而定，... 可以在會議之日起不到兩週的時間內給予同意。”
Komolafe added that "NUPRC would give the companies two mutually exclusive options that, if accepted, would permit approval of the deal."
Komolafe補充說：“NUPRC將爲兩家公司提供兩種相互排斥的選擇，如果被接受，將允許該交易獲得批准。”
"As a commission, we don't want our nation to carry unwarranted financial burdens arising from the operations of the assets over time by the divesting entities."
“作爲委員會，我們不希望我們的國家承擔因撤資實體長期運營資產而產生的不必要的財務負擔。”
