Noble Energy Inc. (NYSE: NBL) will sell a 7.5% stake in the Tamar natural gas field offshore Israel to Tamar Petroleum Ltd. for about $800 million in cash and shares, the Houston-based oil and gas producer said Jan. 29.
Noble will receive $560 million in cash and 38.5 million shares of Tamar Petroleum.
The deal allows Noble to cut its holdings in Israel's only commercial gas field to 25% from 32.5%, complying with government plans to open the market to competition.
