FRP 的工作承诺是采集、处理和解释 2000 公里的 3D 地震数据（3D 地震）——从当前初始勘探期 (IEP) 延续下来，并根据 3D 解释结果钻探一口井地震。正如 PEL 94 石油协议中所规定的，FRP 最初的油井承诺是坚定的，而不是偶然的。

根据石油协议的标准条款，公司及其合作伙伴有义务在许可证的每个主要阶段（包括 FRP）开始时提供担保。该担保与指定的最低勘探支出 (MEE) 挂钩，这是对 FRP 的坚定工作承诺（3D 地震的承诺成本），具体数额由 Global 和该部商定，此前已谈判时占 MEE 的比例较低。

重要的是，该部已经放弃了在 IEP 结束时放弃 50% 许可面积的通常要求。这意味着 Global 及其合作伙伴保留了进入 FRP 时许可证的所有潜在客户 - 特别是两个主要潜在客户 Marula 和 Welwitschia Deep，以及公司在许可证东部确定的潜在客户。

公司认为授予两年 FRP 期限（而不是像最初预期的那样将 IEP 进一步延长一年）以及放弃放弃要求的豁免是一个成功的结果。预计这也将极大地推动该公司正在进行的外包活动。

在更广泛的纳米比亚背景下，Global 完全同意业界广泛持有的观点，即壳牌和 TotalEnergies 迄今为止在奥兰治盆地的钻探强烈表明，就可能的资源规模而言，纳米比亚已成为世界级的石油省。

Global Petroleum 首席执行官 Peter Hill 评论道：“我们很高兴进入 PEL 94 的下一阶段，两年期限为我们和我们的合作伙伴提供了完整的前景和灵活性。我们谨向矿业和能源部表示感谢。”

The work commitment for the FRP is to acquire, process and interpret 2000 kms of 3D seismic data (the 3D Seismic) - carried over from the current initial exploration period (IEP) and to drill a well contingent upon the results of interpretation of the 3D Seismic. The original well commitment for the FRP – as specified in the petroleum agreement for PEL 94 - was firm, rather than contingent.

In accordance with standard provisions in the petroleum agreement, the Company and its partners are obliged to issue a guarantee at the beginning of each main phase of the licence, including the FRP. The guarantee is linked to the specified minimum exploration expenditure (MEE), which is the firm work commitment for the FRP (the commitment cost of the 3D Seismic), with the precise quantum to be agreed between Global and the Ministry, and has previously been negotiated as a low percentage of the MEE.

Importantly, the Ministry has waived the usual requirement to relinquish 50% of the licence area at the end of the IEP. This means that Global and its partners have retained all of the prospectivity of the licence on entry to the FRP - notably both of the primary prospects, Marula and Welwitschia Deep, together with the leads which the Company has identified in the eastern part of the licence.

The Company regards the grant of the two-year FRP term (rather than a further one-year extension to the IEP as originally expected) - together with the waiver of the relinquishment requirement - to be a successful outcome. It is also expected to give a major boost to the Company’s ongoing farmout campaign.

In the broader Namibian context, Global is in full agreement with the widely held industry view that the drilling in the Orange Basin by Shell and TotalEnergies to date strongly suggests that Namibia has become a world class petroleum province, in terms of scale of likely resources.

Peter Hill, Global Petroleum’s CEO, commented: “We are very pleased to enter the next phase of PEL 94 with the prospectivity intact and the flexibility which a two-year term gives to us and our partners. We would like to convey our thanks to the Ministry of Mines and Energy accordingly.”
