CNOOC Ltd has agreed to acquire oil sands producer OPTI Canada Inc for US$2.1 billion in cash and debt, China's dominant offshore oil producer said today.
The principal asset of OPTI consists of a 35 percent stake in the Long Lake project and three other projects located in the Athabasca region of northeastern Alberta, Canada, according to Beijing-based CNOOC.
"We are pleased to expand our presence in oil sands business after our successful investment in MEG," CNOOC CEO Yang Hua said in a statement, referring to the Canadian oil-sands producer in which CNOOC bought a stake in 2005.
Chinese companies such as Sinopec have acquired oil sands assets in Canada in recent years, tapping the unconventional petroleum deposit amid soaring crude oil prices.
