JERUSALEM– EnQuest is in talks to sell a 20 percent stake in the North Sea Kraken oilfield to Israeli conglomerate Delek Group in a deal that could be worth $162 million, the companies said on Monday.
Kraken is one of the largest current development projects in the UK North Sea, with an anticipated production life of up to 25 years and first oil targeted in 2017, according to EnQuest, which owns a 70.5 percent share in the field. Cairn Energy has the remaining stake.
The field holds an estimated 147 million barrels of oil.
While EnQuest has been looking to reduce debt and potentially sell off assets, Delek, a lead partner in a number of natural gas fields in the eastern Mediterranean, primarily offshore Israel, wants to expand its portfolio internationally.
