Eco Atlantic 已签署具有约束力的协议，收购其尚未持有的 JHI Associates 所有剩余股份，从而扩大其上游勘探业务。此次收购将使 Eco 在北福克兰盆地获得投资机会，Eco 将与 Navitas 合作，在 PL001 许可证区域开展勘探活动，但需获得福克兰群岛政府的确认。

PL001 许可证预计将获得五年延期，为盆地内的勘探工作和潜在开发规划提供更多时间。

Eco表示，此次交易是对其在纳米比亚、南非和圭亚那近海现有的大西洋边缘油气资产组合的补充，同时增加了一个新的勘探区域，并计划在福克兰群岛许可证区域开展近期工作项目。

预计盆地内也将开展开发活动，附近的海狮油田计划于 2028 年首次产油，这将为未来的区域项目提供基础设施支持。

Eco Atlantic signed a binding agreement to acquire all remaining shares of JHI Associates that it does not already own, expanding its upstream exploration portfolio. The acquisition adds exposure to the North Falkland Basin, where Eco will partner with Navitas on exploration activity in the PL001 license, subject to confirmation by the Falkland Islands Government.

The PL001 license is expected to receive a five-year extension, providing additional time for exploration work and potential development planning in the basin.

Eco said the transaction complements its existing Atlantic Margin portfolio offshore Namibia, South Africa, and Guyana, while adding a new exploration area with near-term work programs planned in the Falklands license area.

Development activity is also expected in the basin, with first oil from the nearby Sea Lion field targeted for 2028, which could support regional infrastructure for future projects.
