Shell’s $20 billion Nigeria Bonga bet collides with talk of an Argentina shale exit

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu has given the green light to investment-linked incentives for Shell’s Bonga South West deepwater oil project, following talks with CEO Wael Sawan. Sawan indicated a final investment decision could come by 2027, with projected capital and operating costs around $20 billion. Shell is also eyeing Nigeria’s exploration licence round. Tinubu emphasized these incentives aren’t “blanket concessions” but tied to fresh capital and output. Shell highlighted recent investments in Bonga North and a gas project supplying Nigeria LNG; Exxon Mobil is another Bonga partner.

Exxon Mobil stock price rises after-hours as XTO shops $1 billion Eagle Ford assets ahead of Q4 results

Exxon Mobil stock price rises after-hours as XTO shops $1 billion Eagle Ford assets ahead of Q4 results

Exxon Mobil shares edged up about 1% to $134.97 in after-hours trading Friday following reports that its XTO Energy unit is gauging interest from buyers for certain Eagle Ford shale assets. The package covers roughly 168,000 net acres in South Texas — acreage adjusted for Exxon’s ownership share — and is valued at over $1 billion. Sources say XTO has set up a secure online data room for bidders and is conducting the sale internally, without tapping investment banks. An Exxon spokesperson described the move as part of a strategy to “continually evaluate and optimize” its portfolio, a push coming as U.S. crude prices remain about 18% below last year’s levels and following the company’s $60 billion acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources in 2024.
