Whitecap among final-round bidders for Cenovus’ Weyburn asset

November 7, 20171:25 PM Reuters0 Comments

Cenovus SAGD Operation
Canada’s Whitecap Resources Inc and at least three other companies have submitted final-round bids for Cenovus Energy Inc’s Weyburn oil facility in a deal that could fetch about C$1 billion ($782 million), people familiar with the situation said on Tuesday.

NAL Resources Management Ltd, a unit of insurer Manulife Financial Corp , Cona Resources Ltd and Spartan Energy Corp are among other suitors to place final bids, the people added, declining to be named as the matter is not yet public.

Whitecap is the front runner for the asset, one of the people said.

No deal has been reached yet, the people said.

To finance the acquisition, Whitecap is looking raise about C$700 million through a share sale, and fund the rest through debt, the people said.

Cenovus spokeswoman Sonja Franklin declined to comment. Whitecap, NAL, Cona and Spartan did not immediately respond to requests from Reuters seeking comment.

Located in southern Saskatchewan, the Weyburn oil operation is attractive because of its light oil output and low-decline, long-life characteristics.
