Wave of Foreign Investment in US Gas Could Top $10B
Asian, Middle Eastern and European buyers want a piece of U.S. shale gas, and they want it now. Jeet Benipal, managing partner at Greenhill, a Mizuho affiliate, said there's at least five or six different shale gas deals on the market right now. 'If I were to add all of them together, we're probably looking at $10-plus billion,' Benipal said June 4 during Hart Energy's Energy Capital Conference. Greenhill previously advised TG Natural Resources on its $2.7 billion acquisition of East Texas gas producer Rockcliff Energy II in 2023. 'There's a lot of interest from several different Asian strategics and trading houses in U.S. natural gas upstream assets,' Benipal said. TG Natural Resources recently acquired a 70% interest in Chevron's Haynesville assets for $575 million. Outside of Asia, Middle Eastern buyers are gaining steam in U.S. shale gas. In April, Kimmeridge sold a 24.1% stake in its upstream shale gas and LNG operation to Mubadala Energy, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co. U.K. petrochemical company INEOS has also invested in U.S. upstream, including offshore and in the Eagle Ford Shale, said Jack Collins, CEO of INEOS Energy, at the conference.

Key Details of Chevron's $525M Asset Sale Under the terms of the deal, $75 million will be paid in cash, while the remaining $450 million will be structured as a capital carry to support the development of the Haynesville shale formation. Notably, Chevron owned about 70,000 acres of land in the Haynesville Shale, a dense natural gas reservoir in East Texas. As a result of this acquisition, TG Natural Resources will expand its Haynesville inventory by adding over 250 gross drilling locations, assuming an average of four wells per section. Meanwhile, for Chevron, this divestment is part of its previously announced plan to sell between $10 billion and $15 billion worth of assets by 2028, as part of its strategy to optimize its global energy portfolio. Additionally, the deal is expected to bring Chevron more than $1.2 billion in value based on current Henry Hub natural gas prices. This value will come from a long-term capital carry, Chevron's remaining 30% ownership stake, and its right to receive a share of future production revenue (overriding royalty interest). In context, Henry Hub's natural gas price is the benchmark price for natural gas in the U.S. Is CVX a Good Stock to Buy? Turning to Wall Street, CVX stock has a Strong Buy consensus rating based on 11 Buys and three Holds assigned in the last three months. At $176.64, the average Chevron price target implies a 5.6% upside potential. Disclosure
