Santos, Repsol Reportedly Explore Sale of Stakes in Alaska Oilfields Oil and gas producers Santos Limited (ASX:STO) and Repsol, S.A. (BME:REP) are exploring a sale of a minority stake in oilfields in Alaska they jointly own and develop in a deal that could be worth about $1 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. The oilfields include the Pikka project, which is one of the largest oil prospects in Alaska and has been valued at about $4.5 billion by consultancy firm Rystad Energy. The companies are working with an investment bank to jointly sell minority stakes in Pikka, alongside partial interests in the Horseshoe and Quokka fields that are located in the North Slope region of Alaska, the sources said, requesting anonymity as the discussions are confidential. Repsol and Santos declined to comment. The stakes are so-called non-operating positions, meaning the owner gets a share of the proceeds from the sale of hydrocarbons without needing to undertake any drilling or be involved in operations. They are required to contribute to their share of costs. Potential buyer interest will likely be impacted by factors including legal and environmental risks, the sources said, cautioning a deal is not guaranteed. Bekanntmachung • Mar 01

Woodside Energy Says Merger Talks with Santos Collapsed Australia's Woodside Energy Group Ltd. (ASX:WDS), opens new tab and Santos Limited (ASX:STO) said they had ended talks to create a possible AUD 80 billion ($52 billion) global oil and gas giant. Woodside, which is more than twice as large as Santos in terms of market value and revenue, said it would only pursue a deal that would add value for its shareholders. The talks fell apart as the two companies could not agree on a valuation level, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter who could not be named discussing confidential information. A firm bid did not emerge from Woodside following the almost two months of due diligence and negotiations that the parties undertook, one of the sources said. Woodside declined to comment on those points and Santos did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Santos said in a statement after "an initial exchange of information, sufficient combination benefits were not identified to support a merger that would be in the best interests of Santos shareholders". "We have a strong balance sheet and continue to review options to unlock value for shareholders," it said. If the merger had taken place, it would have created a major global liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer that could attract more offshore investors as gas is seen as a key bridging fuel in the shift to cleaner energy. "While the discussions with Santos did not result in a transaction, Woodside considers that the global LNG sector provides significant potential for value creation," Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill said in a statement. Woodside had faced pressure from some investors not to pay a premium for Santos in what would have been one of the largest corporate takeovers in Australian history. "Woodside's decision to walk away is a relief," said Simon Mawhinney, chief investment officer at Allan Gray which holds A$700 million worth of Woodside stock. The fund last week wrote to management warning against pursuing a deal. "We had hoped this would be the outcome," Mawhinney said. "It was unclear to us where there was much merit in a tie up. It further cements our view about Woodside's capital discipline". Bekanntmachung • Jan 25

CPC Reportedly Set for Dorado Stake CPC Corporation, Taiwan is being tipped as the most likely buyer of an additional stake in the Dorado oil and gas project off the coast of Western Australia. Owner Santos Limited (ASX:STO) is understood to have had four or five parties in a data room, in a process run by investment bank Goldman Sachs. Among them are believed to be Kufpec (Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company K.S.C.) and at least one Japanese suitor, with Mitsui & Co., Ltd. (TSE:8031) and Mitsubishi Corporation (TSE:8058) likely candidates. Other likely parties are Tokyo Gas Co.,Ltd. (TSE:9531), Osaka Gas Co., Ltd. (TSE:9532) and Jadestone Energy plc (AIM:JSE). But the latest chatter in the market is that Santos is pinning its hopes on CPC investing further. CPC recently finalised a deal with Carnarvon, the other owner of the project, to buy a 10% interest in Dorado and its Pavo project for an all-up payment of $146 million. Santos has an 80% interest in Dorado and the thinking in the market is that it remains keen to reduce that exposure to about 60%. Azure Capital-advised Carnarvon Energy was the only other holder before CPC bought in. Dorado, once owned by Woodside Petroleum and later Quadrant Energy before it was purchased by Santos, is an integrated oil and gas project that will be developed in two phases. It is located in the Bedout sub-basin, about 140km off the coast of WA's Port Hedland. Bekanntmachung • Aug 23

Santos Reportedly Shortlists Bidders for Dorado Project Santos Limited (ASX:STO) Santos is believed to have shortlisted bidders for round two in the contest for a stake in its Dorado project in Western Australia. It is understood that a stake of about 25%, expected to be worth about $500 million, is on offer through investment bank Goldman Sachs. Among those in the race is Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company K.S.C. (Kufpec), and the sale process has drawn interest from Southeast Asia. Santos owns 80% of the project, with Azure Capital-advised Carnarvon Energy the remaining holder. Carnarvon sold a 10% stake to Taiwan's CPC for $146 million in February. Sources have suggested that Taiwan's CPC might increase its interest, and Indian companies could consider an acquisition. Dorado is an integrated oil and gas project that will be developed in two phases. The Dorado and Pavo fields are estimated to contain gross 2C recoverable contingent resources of 189 million barrels of liquids and 401 petajoules of gas. Bekanntmachung • Jul 12
