The deal involves the purchase of the free float and a partial acquisition of Delek Group’s stake, which would result in BP and ADNOC holding 50% of NewMed Energy.
"BP and ADNOC intend to form a new joint venture that will
be focused on gas development in international areas of mutual
interest including the East Mediterranean," BP said in a
statement.
