The Opportunity for EMOV

As major oil companies reduce their presence in mature oil and gas basins, particularly in emerging markets, there is an opportunity for independent operators like EMOV to acquire productive assets which have an ongoing role to play in meeting energy demand.

These regions also offer attractive opportunities to participate in energy transition projects that require geo-science and engineering capabilities as well as deep experience working with host governments and local communities. EMOV has already established a carbon capture and storage business in central Europe and is well-positioned to develop geo-thermal energy projects in the same region.

EMOV’s commitment to its investors is to deliver compelling risk-weighted returns by choosing the right opportunities, proactively managing its portfolio, creating strong partnerships and managing operations safely and efficiently. The company adheres to recognized global standards for operational integrity, environmental safeguarding and project management.

Acquisition Strategy

EMOV targets opportunities that can become the foundation for profitable and sustainable energy businesses in its three focal regions: Central Europe, the pre-Caspian Basin and Latin America. These opportunities are selected based on the following key criteria:

  • A political and economic environment where risks can be evaluated, quantified and actively managed
  • A track record of foreign direct investment and technology transfer
  • An energy industry with developed infrastructure and opportunities for greater operational efficiency
  • Partnerships that bring complementary technical skills and help manage risk

The EMOV team is actively evaluating assets acquisition opportunities that can be operated by its subsidiary in central Europe as well as corporate acquisitions in its other target geographies. These acquisitions can be opportunistic with shorter-term investment horizons or long-term as is the case with the carbon capture and storage business in Central Europe.
