Anadarko -- which is based in The Woodlands -- is one of the world's largest independent oil and gas exploration and production companies. The move announced Tuesday involves a project located in about 5,300 feet of water, approximately 140 miles off the coast of Louisiana.
The company did not disclose the buyer. Anadarko Petroleum Corp. will continue to hold a 31.5 percent stake in the project.
The deal is expected to close in April.
Anadarko last month reported that it returned to a profit in its fourth quarter as rising production helped to offset lower prices for natural gas and oil.
