Exxon Mobil Corp. has talked with potential Nigerian buyers of its stakes in oil and gas fields in Nigeria, which could fetch up to US$3 billion, according to an April 2 report from Reuters. The fields include onshore and offshore.

Exxon will soon open a data room that will provide technical information on the fields, such as seismic and production details, a source told Reuters.

The move is part of its plan to divest around US$15 billion by 2021.
