TAQA completes deal
by ArabianBusiness.com staff writer on Thursday, 01 March 2007
TAQA has announced it has officially started managing its newly acquired BP Netherlands gas exploration and production assets. TAQA made public its intention to acquire BP Nederland Energie BV in late 2006 and the sale is now complete.
"By assuming control of an existing operation with significant interests in the upstream, midstream, and downstream businesses, TAQA has positioned itself well at the centre of the ‘Energy Roundabout' of Europe, ideally located between Europe's two main demand centres, the UK and Germany," said Peter Barker-Homek, CEO of TAQA.
The BP business has onshore and offshore production assets, including the Piek Gas Installatie facility in Alkmaar. It also includes gas storage facilities at the Bergermeer field in the Netherlands, linking Dutch and British gas hubs, which the company sees as an area for potential growth.
