Oil and gas pair's deal solves problems
May 28, 2009 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- By Paul Garvey
AED Oil will pay $A155m for a 50 per cent stake in the Longtom oil and gas project in Bass Strait. The deal will provide the embattled Nexus Energy with a financial lifeline, allowing it to reduce its debt and bolster its cash reserves. The deal will give AED an additional revenue stream after it sold a 60 per cent stake in its Puffin field. Production at Longtom is slated to begin later in 2009.
