Summary

Led a small team over several weeks, screening potential acquisition targets for Shell. Identified LNG-exposed markets in West Africa as a key area to strengthen Shell's LNG positioning in a geographical area of limited presence. Recommended Kosmos Energy as a 100% share acquisition, building supporting DCF and CCA valuation models, calculating synergy ramps and pro forma EPS accretion. Moddelled 35% cash / 40% debt / 25% equity financing mix and made a complete presentation deck for the recommendation.
