Under the MoU, Halo’s upstream and commercial capabilities will be contributed to target, acquire and manage specific low-risk natural gas production assets in Europe.

“This MoU is significant for us as it marks an innovative development in our product offering.”

Engie will contribute its footprint in European gas markets and its experience in energy management in a bid to offer a new structured gas off-take.

Halo chairman Andrew Cochran said: “This is a unique agreement that will provide asset sellers with an integrated buyer’s package both reducing risk and improving access to finance for natural gas assets in Europe.”

Engie’s approach will help Halo secure the funding of such assets and reduce the dilution to its shareholders.
