Oil major Shell has completed the sale of its stake in a Nigerian oil field for $737million.
The company is nearing the completion of a strategic asset review in the West African country.
The Oil and Mining Lease (OML) 18 and related facilities in the the Eastern Niger Delta have been sold to Eroton Exploration & Production Company.
Shell announced in October last year that it had signed agreements for all five Nigerian oil assets it put up for sale following a 2013 review of its business in Nigeria.
In 2014, OML 18 produced around 14,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
