Eni, Var Energi buy independent exploration and production company Neptune
Eni S.p.A. has entered into an agreement with Vår Energi ASA to purchase Neptune Energy Group Limited, an independent exploration and production company with a portfolio of gas-oriented assets and operations in Western Europe, North Africa, Indonesia, and Australia. The acquisition transaction involving Eni and Vår, where the former will acquire Neptune's assets and the latter will acquire Neptune Norway Business, is expected to close in the first quarter of 2024.

HSBC acted as the exclusive financial advisor, White & Case LLP as the legal advisor, and Ernst & Young as tax and financial due diligence advisor to Eni.
