Petronas makes strategic enty into Canada
Subsidiary acquires interest in shale gas assets for CDN$1.07
billion.
PETRONAS, through wholly-owned subsidiary PETRONAS International Corporation
Ltd (PICL), has reached an agreement to form a strategic partnership with
Canada-based Progress Energy Resources Corporation
to develop the Altares, Lily and Kahta shale
gas assets in northeastern British Columbia.
Under the agreement signed on 2 June 2011, PICL will acquire
50 per cent of Progress’ interest in the three
areas for a total consideration of CDN$1.07 billion (RM3.32 billion). The
assets included in the transaction cover approximately 150,000 gross
working-interest acres of land with an estimated contingent gas resource of
more than 15 trillion cubic feet. The assets will be
operated by Progress.
The proposed acquisition will mark PETRONAS’ maiden entry into Canada and
will allow for accelerated upstream growth that could potentially advance
a liquefied natural gas (LNG) export value proposition
in that country. PETRONAS views the acquisition as a highly attractive
opportunity, paving its entry into the North American shale gas industry
while at the same time further strengthening its position as a leading
global LNG player.
LNG options
In addition to the above Transaction, PETRONAS and Progress will establish an LNG export joint venture to be 80% and 20% owned, respectively. The LNG Export Joint Venture will launch a feasibility study to evaluate building and operating a new LNG export facility on the West Coast of British Columbia. PETRONAS would be the operator of this facility, and PETRONAS and Progress would jointly market the LNG utilizing PETRONAS' well-established and extensive network of customers in the largest LNG markets globally.
As part of the acquisition, PETRONAS and
Progress have agreed to establish an LNG Export joint venture to conduct a
feasibility study on the economic viability of an integrated LNG Export
facility in Western Canada. This could provide a strategic alternative to
the traditional North American pipeline gas market.
The two companies have also agreed to collaborate on other potential natural
gas opportunities in Western Canada.
The transaction is conditional upon relevant regulatory approvals and
PETRONAS expects the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2011.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the exclusive financial advisor to PETRONAS
on this transaction.

Canada has blocked Malaysian state oil firm Petronas' C$5.17 billion ($5.2 billion) bid for gas producer Progress Energy Resources in a surprise move that could signal problems for a much larger Chinese deal in the country's energy sector.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak asked his Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper to reverse the initial rejection of Petroliam Nasional Bhd.’s $5.2-billion takeover of Progress Energy Resources Corp., correspondence between the two leaders shows.
Najib wrote to Harper promising that Petronas, as the country’s state-owned oil company is known, would invest $68-billion to $70-billion over 30 years to develop the natural gas reserves of Calgary-based Progress, according to a Nov. 2 letter obtained by Bloomberg News under Canada’s freedom-of-information law.
Najib expressed concern about the rejection and reassured Harper that the Malaysian government “does not interfere with the commercial decisions and operation” of Petronas, the documents show.

After months of uncertainty, the Conservative government finally broke its silence Friday — approving two contentious foreign takeovers (Nexen and Progress takeover deals) that are destined to form the basis of Canada’s investment strategy for years to come.
“When we say that Canada is open for business, we do not mean that Canada is for sale to foreign governments,” Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters in Ottawa.
“The government’s concern and discomfort for some time has been that, very quickly, a series of large-scale controlling transactions by foreign state-owned companies could rapidly transform this industry from one that is essentially a free market to one that is effectively under control of a foreign government.”“The government of Canada has determine that foreign state control of oil sands development has reached the point at which further such foreign state control would not be of net benefit to Canada,” Mr. Harper said.

Petronas completes $6-billion Progress
Energy acquisition after deal gets Ottawa’s approval
Malaysian state-owned energy firm Petronas has completed its $6-billion
takeover of Progress Energy Resources Corp.
The deal won Ottawa’s approval on Friday after having initially been
rejected as not being of “net benefit” to Canada.
Progress’ shares and debentures are expected to be delisted from the Toronto
Stock Exchange on Monday.
Petronas plans to build a liquefied natural gas export terminal near Prince
Rupert, B.C., which will now be 60% larger than would have been the case had
the deal not gone through.
The Petronas Progress deal was approved on the same day Ottawa gave the
green light to the $15.1-billion takeover of Nexen Inc. by China’s CNOOC
Ltd.
That larger and more controversial transaction still has more hoops to jump
through before it closes, including U.S. regulatory approval, as Nexen has
operations in the Gulf of Mexico.
