ADNOC to Acquire 30% Stake in Absheron Gas Field
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said on Friday it would acquire a 30% equity stake in the Absheron gas and condensate field in the Caspian Sea off the coast of Baku, Azerbaijan. The agreement would see Azeri state oil company SOCAR and TotalEnergies (TTEF.PA), which had each previously held a 50% stake in the field, both retaining a 35% share. TotalEnergies announced first gas from Absheron in July. The French energy group confirmed on Friday it and SOCAR had each sold a 15% interest in the field to ADNOC, Reuters reported.
