Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Petronas has started inviting bids for its upstream assets in Africa, which could fetch as much as US$3 billion, people with knowledge of the matter said.<\/p>\n

The oil giant has upstream projects in countries including Chad, Egypt, Gabon, Gambia, Senegal and the Republic of South Sudan, according to its website.<\/p>\n

Petronas is working with an adviser to gauge interest in the portfolio, which includes operations in Chad, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.<\/p>\n

The assets are likely to attract other international energy companies or financial investors, and could be sold piecemeal to different buyers, the people said.<\/p>\n

The oil and gas firm has also been considering options for its downstream assets in Africa, though it hasn\u2019t decided how to proceed, two of the people said. Deliberations are at an early stage and there\u2019s no certainty they\u2019ll result in a transaction, the people said.<\/p>\n

The company said in an emailed statement that it \u201cregularly and proactively\u201d reviews its entire portfolio to ensure it remains resilient amid the evolving energy landscape. It declined to comment on specifics.<\/p>\n

Petronas has been planning to divest assets in countries including Chad, Myanmar and Azerbaijan as part of a global operational shuffle, Bloomberg News reported in February.<\/p>\n

The Malaysian energy group said in March that it is evaluating geopolitical risk at the country level on all of its overseas operations. Since then, it has withdrawn from the Yetagun offshore gas field in Myanmar and closed the sale of a stake in an Azerbaijan project to Lukoil PJSC.<\/p>\n
