LONDON/DUBAI -- Dubai's Emirates National Oil Company (Enoc) agreed to pay US$1.9 billion to take control of Dragon Oil in a further push by the state-owned refiner into exploration, even as the emirate grapples with a huge debt burden. Dragon's committee of independent directors advised investors to accept the 455 pence a share bid for the 48 percent of the Turkmenistan-focused oil explorer that Enoc does not own. The offer values Dragon at 2.36 billion pounds (US$3.88 billion).
