The firm, which already owns 36.1% of APICO, one of the JV partners, has entered into an agreement to acquire an additional 2.9% stake in APICO for $9.25m in cash, bringing Coastal's interest in APICO to 39%.
APICO also holds a 35% interest in the nearby Sinphuhorm Gas Field, meaning the acquisition would increase Coastal's net interest in the field to 13.65%.
