Romgaz CEO Aristotel Jude recently estimated that the transaction between Romgaz and ExxonMobil would be completed in the first quarter of 2022.

Romgaz’s Board of Directors recently approved the acquisition of all the shares issued by ExxonMobil Exploration and Production Romania Limited, which owns 50% of the Neptun Deep project, and the conclusion of the sale-purchase agreement, with the purchase price set at $1.060 billion and subject to a positive adjustment of up to $10 million.

ExxonMobil and OMV Petrom are currently equal partners in the Neptun Deep deep-water project, where exploration has revealed an estimated 42-84 billion cubic metres of oil.

ExxonMobil has announced its intention to leave Romania, while OMV Petrom has said it is likely to make a decision next year to invest in the Neptun Deep project, depending on legislative changes in Romania and the market situation.
