Wintershall DEA is an EU-based oil and gas producer with a history of over a hundred years, being also one of the Europe's largest independent oil companies. The DEA part of its name comes from a huge merger with DEA Deutsche Erdoel AG in 2019. After this merger, the company is determined to go public in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Wintershall DEA may be ready for an IPO by mid 2020, with Deutsche Bank being its listing coordinator.
