Mideast consortium agrees $500m National Petroleum Services buy | GulfNews.com:



"A consortium of Gulf-based investors including Fajr Capital and Arab Petroleum Investment Corp (Apicorp) have agreed on a deal to acquire Dubai-based oilfield services firm National Petroleum Services, Fajr said on Tuesday.



The transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014, is valued “in excess of $500 million”, it said in a statement.



Reuters had reported last November that a Gulf consortium led by Fajr and also containing Apicorp and Saudi-Arabia based investment holding company Zamil Group were in advanced talks over a deal worth between $500 million and $700 million.



This followed an unsuccessful attempt to sell NPS to Norway’s Aker Solutions in 2012."
