Project of Sinopec Corp.’s Purchase of Equity in Angola 18 Block

Issue Time：2015-03-19 Source：CEA Author：CEA

      

In 2009, Sinopec Group planned to purchase partial shares of SSI Company. SSI Company mainly holds 50% equities of Angola 18 Block.


Located northwest of Angolan capital Luanda, Angola 18 Block is in deep waters 150 kilometers away from the cost with average depth of 1,500 meters and development area of 322.57km2. Operator is BP Angola (Block 18) B.V.


Appraisal base date is November 30, 2009. Proved reserve in Angola 18 Block amounts to 102.49 million barrels and probable reserve totals 67.24 million barrels.


The transaction is the first overseas oil and gas assets injection since the listing of Sinopec. The success of the project explores a new model for overseas asset injection into listing companies, which brings great influence to domestic market.


Appraisal on the project shows the following features: (1) assets under appraisal are distributed overseas and project operator is BP (not entrusting party). It is quite hard to collect materials, communicate and carry out appraisal procedure; (2) oil and gas assets raise high requirements on professional ability and operation mode is production sharing contracts. Great efforts should be made to deeply analyze numerous historical data, such as JIB statement, CASH CALL data, cost recovery report and IRR report, etc. With consideration of these features, China Enterprise Appraisals adopted income approach for this appraisal and gained in-depth knowledge about and compared relevant income parameters, which was well received by Sinopec and relevant intermediaries.
