Monday it has signed a pact to acquire an additional 12% stake in a Brazilian
oil field from Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PBR, PETR3.BR, PETR4.BR), or Petrobras
for $529.03 million.
ONGC Videsh Ltd., the overseas investment arm of
India
's
flagship oil and gas explorer, currently owns a 15% stake in the Brazilian oil
field. The additional investment will bring its stake to 27%.
Brazilian state energy heavyweight Petrobras in August approved the sale of
$2.1 billion of assets as it ramped up a continuing divestment plan. As part of
that, it said it would sell its 35% stake in Parque das Conchas to Sinochem for
$1.54 billion. ONGC pre-empted the proposed deal between Petrobras and Sinochem
to increase its stake.
India
imports about 75% of its energy needs and has been pushing hard to build up a
diversified portfolio of foreign assets to minimize its dependence on the
Middle
East
. The country recently signed two multibillion-dollar deals to buy into
offshore natural-gas assets in
Mozambique
.
ONGC Videsh also said it was awarded two onshore oil and gas blocks in
Myanmar
.
