Abu Dhabi Said to Weigh Multi-Billion Dollar Gas Pipeline Deal - Bloomberg:
Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. is seeking to raise billions of dollars from its natural-gas pipelines, months after the state-owned explorer got a $4 billion investment in its oil infrastructure assets, according to people familiar with the matter.
Adnoc, as the company is known, is speaking to financial advisers about bringing in international investors for the pipelines, which could help raise $5 billion or more, one of the people said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private. Adnoc is yet to hire banks for the plans and talks are in the early stages, the people said.
The company may structure the investment so bidders lease assets for a period of time, similar to February’s oil-infrastructure deal with KKR & Co. and BlackRock Inc., the people said. Adnoc’s entire gas pipeline business could be worth more than $15 billion, the people said. No final decisions have been made and the Abu Dhabi oil giant may decide against a deal, they said.
