The Indonesian public company Pertamina has filed an indicative offer to
purchase independent oil company Maurel & Prom, reported Sunday the
Sunday Telegraph, quoting sources close to the counterparts.
Pertamina
is working with Société Générale on this offer, which could reach 19
euros per share, according to the British Sunday newspaper.
Maurel & Prom is regularly the subject of speculations around offers to purchase on the part of majors in the sector. In June 2012, the title had flamed as a result of an article in the British newspaper Daily Mail reporting that Shell (RDSA.LN)
was planning to launch a takeover bid for the group, information which
was contradicted by the Chairman of Maurel & Prom, Jean-François
Hénin.
In November, Bloomberg had in turn said that Maurel & Prom was coveted by China Petroleum & Chemical (SNP), or Sinopec. Maurel & Prom had not wanted to provide any comment.
