The company’s exit from Equatorial Guinea will take place following an operational transition phase lasting up to 12 months.
SBM Offshore said the sale of its participation in the unit in Equatorial Guinea is in line with its strategy to rationalize its lease and operate portfolio, as per other recent transactions.
As it is reported, the agreement remains subject to several conditions precedent and approvals.
