Savannah Petroleum is set to dispose an 80% stake in Accugas to private equity firms African Infrastructure Investment Managers (AIIM) and Islamic Development Bank Infrastructure Fund II (IDB), with a term-sheet agreement having been signed between the parties.

Based in Nigeria, the target company is a midstream company that owns the 200 million metric standard cubic feet a day (mmscfd) Uquo gas processing facility.

Aside from investing $60m, AIIM and IDB will carry Savannah’s 20% stake as part of the transaction.
