PA Resources has reached agreement to dispose of its 30 percent interest in
Netherlands offshore Blocks Q7 and Q10a to Tulip Oil, subject to regulatory
approval. Tulip Oil will pay a consideration of GBP 1 million (SEK 12 million)
on completion of the transaction, with a further payment contingent on certain
asset milestones being met. Reflecting only the firm consideration, the
transaction results in a book loss of approximately SEK 19 million, which will
be recorded in the fourth quarter.
– Consistent with focussing our discretionary expenditure on assets with
appreciable upside in the central North Sea, North Africa and West Africa, we
have exited from these non-core blocks and wish Tulip Oil every success in their
future activities, says Mark McAllister, CEO of PA Resources.
