EIG’s MidOcean Energy Completes Acquisition of Interest in Canada from PETRONAS

MidOcean Energy (“MidOcean”), a liquefied natural gas (LNG) company formed and managed by EIG, a leading institutional investor in the global energy and infrastructure sectors, today announced the completion of its acquisition of a 20% interest in PETRONAS’ key entities in Canada.

The transaction includes a 20% interest in the North Montney Upstream Joint Venture (“NMJV”), which holds PETRONAS’ upstream investment in Canada, and a 20% interest in the North Montney LNG Limited Partnership (“NMLLP”), which holds PETRONAS’ 25% participating interest in the LNG Canada Project.

This strategic investment positions MidOcean across the LNG value chain, securing upstream resources and downstream liquefaction through the LNG Canada Project, with around 0.7 MTPA of associated LNG and potential to grow further.

RBC Capital Markets acted as financial advisor to MidOcean, and Latham & Watkins acted as legal advisor.
