Malaysian state-run energy company Petronas has inked a deal to sell the entire shareholding in its Chad subsidiary to UK’s Savannah Energy, it said on December 14.

The agreement includes the transfer of Petronas Carigali Chad Exploration & Production’s shares and interests in Petronas Carigali Chad (EP) Inc., DOBA Pipeline Investment Inc. and Petronas Chad Marketing Inc, to Savannah Energy Chad.
