Sintana Energy Inc. 很高兴地宣布，雪佛龙公司 (“VX”) 的附属公司雪佛龙纳米比亚勘探有限公司 (“NEL”) 已签署一项于 4 月 28 日生效的协议，规定他们可以获得石油勘探许可证。 82（“EL 82”），假设拥有 80% 的工作权益和经营权。 NAMCOR、纳米比亚国家石油公司和 Custos Energy (Pty) Ltd. (“ustos”) 将分别持有 PEL 82 10% 的附带权益。Sintana 间接持有 Custos 49% 的权益。

PEL 82 管辖位于纳米比亚近海沃尔维斯盆地的 2112B 和 2212A 区块。 PEL 82 是沃尔维斯盆地最具吸引力的机会之一。

现有地震数据覆盖了大约 70% 的区块总面积——超过 3,500 公里的 2D 数据和 9,500 平方公里的 3D 数据。
PEL 82 此前的钻探活动包括 Murombe-1 井和 Wingat-1 井。
结果证实了巴列姆-阿普第阶产油烃源岩（库杜页岩）的区域延伸和存在。
Murombe-1 穿透了猴面包树砂，返回了大约 20% 的孔隙度。
Wingat-1 井将 API 温度为 38-41 度的石油开采到地表。

我们很高兴地宣布，通过加入 PEL 82，我们与雪佛龙的国内合作关系将持续扩大。这是最先进、最有趣的机会之一Custos 董事长兼首席执行官兼 Sintana 董事 Knowledge Katti 表示：“纳米比亚近海位于奥兰治盆地以外。” “我们很高兴看到我们过去十年在 PEL 82 上的努力取得了这一重要进步，进一步增加了纳米比亚的世界级离岸机会。”他补充道。

“与雪佛龙在纳米比亚不断扩大的合作伙伴关系证明了我们纳米比亚产品组合的质量。”Sintana 首席执行官兼董事会成员 Robert Bose 说道。 “随着纳米比亚成为世界下一个碳氢化合物大省，我们进入的及时性和我们投资组合的无与伦比的性质继续得到证明。”他补充道。

在农场收购的同时，Custos 很高兴地宣布，它已与沃尔维斯湾减贫信托基金 (“BPRT”) 签订合作协议，规定 WBPRT 将成为 Custos 农场的主要受益人企业社会责任的努力。

Sintana Energy Inc. is pleased to announce that Chevron Namibia Exploration Limited (“CNEL”), an affiliate of Chevron Corp. (“CVX”) has executed an agreement effective April 28th that provides for their entry into Petroleum Exploration License 82 (“PEL 82”) with the assumption of an 80% working interest and operatorship. NAMCOR, the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia, and Custos Energy (Pty) Ltd. (“Custos”) will each maintain a 10% carried interest in PEL 82. Sintana maintains an indirect 49% interest in Custos.

PEL 82 governs blocks 2112B AND 2212A located in the Walvis Basin, offshore Namibia. PEL 82 is one of the Walvis Basin’s most attractive opportunities.

Approximately 70% of total block area is covered by existing seismic – over 3,500 km of 2D and 9,500 km2 of 3D data.
Previous drilling activity on PEL 82 includes the Murombe-1 and Wingat-1 wells.
Results confirmed the regional extension and presence of the Barremian-Aptian oil-prone source rock (Kudu shale).
The Murombe-1 penetrated the Baobab sands returning approximately 20% porosity.
The Wingat-1 well recovered 38-41 degree API oil to surface.

“We are pleased to announce the continuing expansion of our in-country partnership with Chevron through their entry in PEL 82. This is one of the most advanced and interesting opportunities offshore Namibia outside of the Orange Basin.” said Knowledge Katti, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Custos, and a director of Sintana. “We are pleased to see our efforts over the last decade on PEL 82 result in this important step forward adding further to Namibia’s world class offshore opportunity.” he added.

“The expanding partnership with Chevron in Namibia speaks to the quality of our Namibian portfolio.” said Robert Bose, CEO and Board Member of Sintana. “The timeliness of our entry and the unmatched nature of our portfolio continue to be demonstrated as Namibia emerges as the world’s next great hydrocarbon province.” he added.

In conjunction with the farm-in, Custos is pleased to announce that it has entered into a co-operation agreement with the Walvis Bay Poverty Reduction Trust (“WBPRT”) providing that the WBPRT will be the primary beneficiary of Custos’s corporate social responsibility efforts.
