Exxon Mobil's Nigerian Asset Sale To Seplat Nears Completion As Court Case Clears
Seplat Energy stated that it aims to reach a prompt conclusion regarding its acquisition of Exxon Mobil Corporation's (NYSE:XOM) Nigerian shallow water oil assets for $1.28 billion.
Seplat Energy表示，他們希望以12.8億美元收購埃克森美孚公司（NYSE：XOM）在尼日利亞淺水油資產方面儘快做出決定。
The state oil company NNPC had earlier contested Exxon's sale of the assets to Seplat, citing a purported first right of refusal and regulatory issues further delayed the deal, reported Reuters.
根據路透社報道，尼日利亞國家石油公司早些時候反對埃克森將這些資產出售給Seplat，稱其擁有拒絕權和監管問題進一步延遲了交易。
On Friday, Seplat Energy expressed that it had been informed about the termination of the court proceedings initiated by NNPCL against MPNU and its affiliates regarding the planned divestment of MPNU's shares to Seplat Energy Offshore Limited (SEOL).
週五，Seplat Energy表示他們已被告知NNPC對MPNU及其附屬公司計劃將MPNU的股份剝離給Seplat Energy Offshore Limited（SEOL）的訴訟程序已終止。
