Panoro Energy ASA（“anoro”或“公司”）欣然宣布，在临时授予加蓬近海浅水区 Niosi Marin（以前称为 G12-13）和 Guduma Marin（以前称为 H12-13）勘探区块 25% 的参与权益后，已与加蓬政府达成最终条款，并签署了涵盖这两个区块的产量分成合同（“SC”）。

Panoro 首席执行官 John Hamilton 表示：
“anoro 自 2008 年以来一直在加蓬开展业务，在此期间，我们在 Dussafu Marin 许可区有机地增加了储量和产量，对碳氢化合物地质有了深入的了解，我们在该地区储量丰富的盐下 Gamba 地层的 E&A 钻探成功率达到 89% 就是明证。” Niosi 和 Guduma 区块是我们在核心区域业务范围的合理延伸，我们将能够利用我们的专业知识在未来几年内完善和提高这些区块的勘探潜力。Panoro 仍致力于扩大其在加蓬的业务，并很高兴进一步扩大与加蓬政府和其他主要利益相关者的合作伙伴关系。Niosi

和 Guduma 区块的面积分别为 2,974 平方公里和 1,927 平方公里，毗邻生产 Dussafu Marin 许可证（“Dussafu”），Panoro 持有该许可证 17.5% 的权益，并与 BW Energy 和加蓬石油公司合作。Niosi 区块还毗邻由 VAALCO Energy 运营的生产 Etame Marin 许可证。 Dussafu 和 Etame Marin 均继续由各自的合作伙伴成功勘探和开发，迄今为止发现的石油总量估计超过 3 亿桶，多个油田投入生产，并安装了广泛的加工和出口基础设施。

覆盖 Niosi 区块的产品分成合同的初始勘探期为 5 年，工作承诺包括新的 3D 地震数据采集和一口井。覆盖 Guduma 区块的产品分成合同的初始勘探期为 3 年，工作承诺包括地质和地球物理研究。这两个区块都可以选择延长勘探期，并进入第二阶段，并承诺额外的井。Niosi

和 Guduma 区块的合作伙伴将是 BW Energy（37.5% 和运营商）和 VAALCO Energy（37.5%）。

Panoro Energy ASA (“Panoro” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that following the provisional award of a 25 per cent participating interest in exploration blocks Niosi Marin (previously G12-13) and Guduma Marin (previously H12-13) offshore shallow water Gabon, final terms have been agreed with the Government of Gabon and the Company has signed Production Sharing Contracts (“PSCs”) covering the two blocks.

John Hamilton, CEO of Panoro, commented:
“Panoro has been present in Gabon since 2008, during which time we have organically grown reserves and production at the Dussafu Marin Permit, developing an in-depth understanding of the hydrocarbon geology as evidenced by our 89 per cent E&A drilling success rate in the regionally prolific pre-salt Gamba formation. Blocks Niosi and Guduma are a logical and contiguous extension of our footprint in a core area where we will be able to leverage our expertise to mature and high grade the exploration potential on the blocks in the coming years. Panoro remains committed to growing its presence in Gabon and is delighted to further expand its partnership with the Gabonese Government and other key stakeholders.”

The Niosi and Guduma blocks cover a surface area of 2,974 km2 and 1,927 km2 respectively and are adjacent to the producing Dussafu Marin Permit ("Dussafu") in which Panoro holds a 17.5 per cent interest and is partnered with BW Energy and Gabon Oil Company. The Niosi block is also adjacent to the producing Etame Marin Permit which is operated by VAALCO Energy. Both Dussafu and Etame Marin continue to be successfully explored and developed by the respective partners with an estimated combined volume over 300 million barrels discovered to date, multiple fields put into production and extensive processing and export infrastructure installed.

The PSC covering the Niosi block has an initial exploration period of five years with a work commitment of new 3D seismic data acquisition and one well. The PSC covering the Guduma block has an initial exploration period of three years with a work commitment of geological and geophysical studies. Both blocks have an option to extend the exploration period and enter a second phase with an additional well commitment.

Partners in the Niosi and Guduma blocks will be BW Energy (37.5 per cent and operator) and VAALCO Energy (37.5 per cent).
