Nigerian energy conglomerate Sahara Group Ltd. said it revised plans for a share-sale as it looks to increase oil production four-fold to 100,000 barrels per day, Bloomberg reports.
Lagos-based Sahara mulled an initial public offering in the Nigerian commercial capital and London in 2015, before falling crude prices forced it to backtrack. “The IPO is now back on the table,” Tonye Cole, Sahara’s executive director and co-founder, said in an interview in Kigali, Rwanda.
Cole didn’t provide a timeframe or say how much he wanted to raise. In 2015, he said he would look to sell as much as 25 percent of Sahara for $600 million. Sahara wants to buy more oil fields to reach its 100,000-target within four years, he said.
