QPI acquires Canadian gas and oil assets

  • Qatar: Tuesday, April 16 - 2013 at 05:20

Qatar Petroleum International (QPI) and UK-based Centrica have acquired gas and oil assets in Canada from Suncor Energy for C$1bn ($979.15m) including some with potential for shale gas production, Reuters has reported. The fields in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin will be held in a new partnership in which Centrica will own a 60% share with the remaining 40% owned by QPI. They include proven and probable conventional reserves estimated by the partners at 978 billion cubic feet equivalent (bcfe), 90% of which is gas. Qatar has imposed a moratorium on further gas export projects from its vast North Field in the Middle East, prompting QPI to look abroad for growth.
