Yinson Production completes sale of minority stake in FPSO Anna Nery to "K" Line
FPSO Anna Nery
The closing of the Sale follows final acceptance of the FPSO Anna Nery last year and the successful refinancing earlier this year, which were closing conditions to the Sale. “K” Line is the second strategic investor in FPSO Anna Nery, following Sumitomo Corporation (“Sumitomo”) with an equity stake of 25%. Upon completion of the Sale, Yinson Production retains control-ling equity stake of approximately 63.2% in FPSO Anna Nery.
FPSO Anna Nery is a key part of the revitalisation of Petrobras’ Marlim field in the Campos basin offshore Brazil. The FPSO, which achieved first oil in May 2023, has a production capacity of 70,000 BOPD and 142 MMSCFD, and an estimated contract value of USD 5.5 billion over a 25-year firm charter period, until 2048.
This Sale further strengthens the partnership between Yinson Production, Sumitomo and "K" Line. In addition to their equity stakes in FPSO Anna Nery, both Sumitomo and “K” Line are part of a consortium that owns 26% of the equity in the FPSO John Agyekum Kufuor in Ghana.
Commenting on the successful closing of the Sale, Markus Wenker, Chief Financial Officer of Yinson Production, said, "We are delighted to welcome “K” Line as a new shareholder in FPSO Anna Nery. This transaction marks another milestone in our long-standing strategic partnership with "K" Line and reflects their deep understanding of the sector, as well as their confidence in Yinson Production’s excellence as a leading independent owner and operator of FPSOs globally. Partnerships like this are central to our strategy optimising capital efficiency as we continue to grow our platform, creating significant value for all our stakeholders.”
Michitomo Iwashita, Management Executive Officer of "K" Line, commented, "We are pleased to have successfully participated in the FPSO Anna Nery project. It is with great pride that we take this important step towards further growth and expansion in our business, and our collaboration with Yinson Production establishes a strong foundation for achieving long-term results. We are excited and committed to achieving success throughout this project together with Yinson Production."
