Differences in Financing the Field System and the Export System
The 3.7 billion USD was planned to be developed in two parts: the Field System – 1,5 billion USD used to extract oil in Chad and a Export System – 2,2 billion USD – to trasport the oil to the coast. The sponsors agreed to buy all of the output at market prices in proportion to their ownership shares. Corporate financing would be used to finance the Field System and project finance was decided for the Export System. This structure facilitated equity participation by the host governments and issuance of limited-recourse debt by the pipeline companies (the sponsors would guarantee debt repayment only until completion of the project). An unincorporated joint venture known as the Upstream Consortium would own and finance the Field System.
The proposed structure included 2,3 billion USD of equity of which 2,2 billion USD would come from the private sponsors. The IBRD (member of WB) would lend 77 milion USD and EIB would lend 42 million USD to the host countries in order to finance their equity stakes. The 1,4 billion USD of the project debt would come from three sources: IFC, two credit agencies (Coface and US Exim)and the capital markets (in bonds). IFC would grant 2 loans – one of 100 million USD for its own account and second one of 300 million USD for syndication to other institutions. The two ECA’s would arrange a bank financing of 600 million USD. COTCO and TOTCO would issue 400 million USD in bonds with leverage ratios of 62% and 64% respectively.
Production would end by 2032 and the project would end. The returns were driven by the oil price and volume assumtions. Even based on the assumtion of reduced price than average (due to acidic, corrosive nature of the Doba Basin oil), the price was well above the project costs of 5,2 USD per barrel. The revenues distribution to Chad, Cameroon and private sponsors would come in form of royalities, taxes and dividends. Chad's returns are basically dependent from project revenues, while Cameroon's returns are function

    The case titled “ExxonMobil and the Chad/Cameroon Pipeline”, examines two large oil businesses merging together to finish an immense development project which spanned for approximately 25 to 30 years. In 1998, both Exxon and Mobil both respectively saw great success as major companies at the time with each company performing multi-billion dollar operations. In 1997 Exxon was achieving a large net income of $8.5 billion with revenues soaring as high as $137.2 billion, achieved a “AAA” debt rating, and also shelling out 5.4 million barrels of gasoline on a daily basis for huge profits. In contrast, Mobil thrived by building a strong reputation as well. The company saw revenues of $65 billion and achieved a net income of $3.3 billion; shelling out 3.3 million barrels of gasoline daily. In 1996, Shell, Elf and ExxonMobil signed a memorandum with the Chadian and Cameroonian governments which provided the sanctioning of a project which involved oil drilling for roughly 25-30 years. Their vision was to expand oil fields in the southern region of Chad by hauling out 300 wells of oil in the Doba Basin and as well building a 650-mile underground pipeline channel from Chad to Cameroon due to Chad being landlocked. The pipeline would move the oil to the coastline of Cameroon and be transported off to various parts of the world. The price of the development was $3.5 billion generating one billion barrels of oil. According to the World Bank, they approximated that the development would produce $2 billion for Chad, $500 million for Cameroon, and $5.7 billion for ExxonMobil and its associates. Ironically, the union of ExxonMobil was reminiscent of John Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company which split apart in 1911 when the antitrust powers that be forced them to divide into two separate…
