Business Combination, Asset Acquisition And Dispositions [Abstract] |
Acquisitions and Dispositions | Note 3—Acquisitions and Dispositions Acquisitions Surmont On October 4, 2023, we completed our acquisition of the remaining 50 percent working interest in Surmont from TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. Fair value of consideration for the transaction was approximately $3.0 billion after customary adjustments (CAD $4.1 billion):
Fair value of consideration | Billions of Dollars
Cash paid | $ | 2.7 |
Contingent consideration | 0.3 |
Total Consideration | $ | 3.0 |
The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination under FASB ASC 805 using the acquisition method, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at their acquisition date fair values. The contingent payment arrangement requires additional consideration to be paid to TotalEnergies EP Canada Ltd. up to $0.4 billion CAD ($0.3 billion) over a five-year term. The contingent payments represent $2.0 million for every dollar that WCS pricing exceeds $52 per barrel during the month, subject to certain production targets being achieved. The range of the undiscounted amounts we could pay under the contingent consideration arrangement is between $0 and $0.3 billion. The fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date was $0.3 billion and estimated by applying the income approach. We are currently in the process of finalizing the initial accounting for the transaction and provisional fair value measurements will be made in the fourth quarter of 2023. We may adjust the measurements in subsequent periods, up to one year from the acquisition date as we identify additional information to complete the necessary analysis.

Formation of the NFS joint venture, NFS3, closed in June 2023.

Sempra PALNG Holdings, LLC owns the remaining 70 percent interest in the joint venture. PALNG is reported as an equity method investment in our Corporate and Other segment. See Note 4. Planned Acquisition Australia Pacific LNG Pty Ltd (APLNG) In March 2023, we announced that, subject to the closing of EIG's transaction with Origin Energy, we intend to purchase up to an additional 2.49 percent shareholding interest in APLNG for $0.5 billion, subject to customary adjustments. Upon closing we will own up to 49.99 percent interest in APLNG. The transaction is expected to close in late 2023 or early 2024, with an effective date of July 1, 2022. Both EIG's transaction with Origin Energy and our shareholder acquisition are subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
