RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:ImpactImagine you got a few billions in your pockets...and imagane oil companies are overvalued (otherwise this example is totally pointless...or even more pointless).
Then you come across the Kenia asset...with 2-3 (don't know about Total) unwilling partners. Actual net price for a producing company with 10.000 bbl/day is round about $ 300m.
The operation should produce 120.000 bpd in...don't know...3-4 years ?
It will cost $ 3.4 billion...cost escalation...let's say $ 3.7 billion.
The partners want a free carry or cash and give you 50% (60.000 bpd).
That's the deal 60.000 bpd for $ 3.7 billion...with country + construction risk. Do you take it ? Hahaha
There are only two kind of investors to think of: Kenia itself or someone who has some kind of strategic interest (money doesn't matter, foot in the door). I lack the fantasy, I'm sorry. Rumor was an indian company...
