BlackRock Inc. and KKR & Co. sold their 40% stake in Adnoc’s oil pipeline network to an Abu Dhabi-based firm five years after acquiring the asset in a deal that marked the first investment by foreign asset managers in the infrastructure of a Gulf state-owned energy company.

The firms sold their holdings to an entity called Lunate, which has $105 billion of assets under management, according to a statement. Terms weren’t disclosed, though Bloomberg News has previously reported that the stake could fetch more than $4 billion including debt.
