The transaction was closed with an effective date of January 1, 2019.

MOL is now the third-largest partner in the supergiant oil field with estimated total gross recoverable reserves of around 3 billion barrels of oil.

"This transaction is a major milestone in building MOL’s international E&P portfolio and a significant step to deliver on the inorganic reserve replacement targets," MOL said.

MOL announced the acquisition in November of 2019.
