CONCENTRATION dans le secteur des matières premières

[Maxime JOUENNE]

Bonjour,
La baisse des cours des matières premières et l'importance des coûts d'exploitations détériore la situation financière de certaines sociétés. Si bien que, les projets de ces sociétés s'ils sont intéressant pourraient bien être repris par les majors...

J'ouvre cette file de discussion afin d'échanger sur la possibilité d'un mouvement de concentration dans le secteur des matières premières.

Shell and BP fall amid talk of bidding war

Royal Dutch Shell and BP provided a talking point as the wider market paused for breath after two days of strong rallies.

Some traders were asking themselves yesterday whether one of the UK-listed oil majors would be tempted into a bidding war for Canadian oil sands company Nexen Inc.

Market sources said French rival Total is set to pounce on Nexen and may be ready to go hostile to acquire the company.

The talk is that Total has hired investment bank Lazard to advise on its potential bid for Nexen.

According to one source, Total has been working on the bid for several months under the project code name of "Wolf". However, for some reason, the code name of the bid project has now changed to "West".

The French company is said to have lined up six or seven financing banks, including HSBC, to fund the deal. Yesterday, coincidentally, it was reported that Total plans to issue a new €1bn bond.

Rumour has it that Total is willing to pay C$32 a share for the Canadian company.
