Press Release
28 June 2018
DISPOSAL OF CHERGUI ASSET
Petrofac announces that it has agreed the sale of its entire 45%
interest in the Chergui asset in Tunisia to Perenco. This sale
marks another milestone in the Group's strategy to transition back
to a capital light business model by divesting non-core assets and
follows the recent disposal of the JSD6000 offshore pipelaying
vessel project.
All Chergui employees will transfer to Perenco as part of the
transaction, which is expected to conclude before the end of the
year. Petrofac is expected to book a small gain on the
transaction.
Chief Financial Officer Alastair Cochran said: "This transaction
demonstrates we are delivering on our clear strategy of focusing on
our core and reducing capital intensity."
