ConocoPhillips Plans to Sell Nigeria Assets as Part of its Global Restructuring Plan

ConocoPhillips plans to divest its assets in Nigeria as part of its three year (2010–2012) strategic global business restructuring plan. The company’s restructuring plan is aimed at optimizing its oil and gas assets portfolio in order to increase its business returns and financial flexibility. The company plans to divest its low revenue generating non-strategic assets and to sell relatively smaller ventures and those which do not fall within its core business of Exploration and Production (E&P). The company’s Nigerian assets, where it holds minority stakes (17–20%), qualify as a target for divestment as per the outline of its restructuring plan.
