Central sells 50% interest in Northern Territory fields
Sydney-listed explorer Central Petroleum has sold a 50% interest in its three Amadeus basin producing fields to New Zealand Oil and Gas (Nzog) and Cue Energy for A$85mn ($66mn), it said on May 25.
The deal, involving Central's Mereenie, Palm Valley and Dingo oil and gas fields, is likely to close in the third quarter of 2021 and is expected to result in an after-tax accounting profit net to Central of about A$35-A$40mn on the sale, the company said.
