Shell (SHEL) is in late-stage discussions to sell its South African retail fuel network to Abu Dhabi National Oil, Bloomberg reported Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
The prospective $1 billion transaction includes 600 fueling locations and would secure a 10% regional market share for the buyer, the media outlet reported.
A final agreement could be reached during the current quarter after earlier acquisition negotiations with Gunvor Group collapsed, according to the publication.
Shell and Abu Dhabi National Oil did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
