BW Energy 欣然宣布，已与加蓬石油部长和经济部长签署了 Niosi Marin 和 Guduma Marin 勘探区块（原名为 G12-13 和 H12-13）的产量分成合同 (PSC)。BW Energy 持有 37.5% 的权益，是这些区块的运营商，这大大扩大了加蓬基础设施主导型勘探的资源基础。

这些区块毗邻 BW Energy 位于加蓬南部近海的 Dussafu Marin 许可区块，总面积为 4,918 平方公里。Niosi

Marin 和 Guduma Marin 的大部分土地都在现有基础设施的回接距离内，可实现未来发现的快速、低成本开发。我们已经证明了我们有能力在 Dussafu 许可区块中创造巨大价值，我们即将完成 Hibiscus / Ruche 的第一阶段，将产量提高到每天 40,000 桶的标称产能。 “这些许可证授予进一步巩固了 BW Energy 对加蓬的承诺以及增加产量和产生现金流的明确目标，”BW Energy 首席执行官 Carl K. Arnet 表示。VAALCO

Energy（37.5%）和 Panoro Energy（25%）是 PSC 的非经营性合资伙伴，这些 PSC 的勘探期为八年，可选择再延长两年。合作伙伴承诺在勘探期间在 Niosi Marin 钻探一口井，并打算开展 3D 地震采集活动。

该财团拥有独特的优势，BW Energy 和 Panoro Energy 是 Dussafu PSC 的合资伙伴，VAALCO Energy 是相邻的 Etame PSC 的运营商。合作伙伴将共同实施安全、高效且具有成本效益的运营，同时利用 Dussafu 和 Etame 的地下和生产经验来加速价值创造。

BW Energy is pleased to announce its signing of production sharing contracts (PSCs) for the exploration blocks Niosi Marin and Guduma Marin (formerly named G12-13 and H12-13) with Gabon’s Petroleum Minister and Minister of Economy. BW Energy holds 37.5% working interest and is the operator of the blocks, which significantly expands the resource base for infrastructure-led exploration in Gabon.

The blocks are adjacent to BW Energy’s Dussafu Marin licence offshore southern Gabon, covering a combined area of 4,918 km2.

“Most of the Niosi Marin and Guduma Marin acreage is within tie-back distance to existing infrastructure, enabling fast-track, low-cost development of future discoveries. We have proven our ability to create significant value in the Dussafu licence, where we are close to completing the first phase of Hibiscus / Ruche to bring production to nameplate capacity of 40,000 barrels per day. These licence awards further underpin BW Energy’s commitment to Gabon and clear ambition of growing production and cash flow generation,” said Carl K. Arnet, the CEO of BW Energy.

VAALCO Energy (37.5%) and Panoro Energy (25%) are non-operating joint venture partners in the PSCs, which have an eight-year exploration period with option to extend for two additional years. The partners have committed to drilling one well on Niosi Marin during the exploration period and intend to carry out a 3D seismic acquisition campaign.

The consortium is uniquely positioned with BW Energy and Panoro Energy as joint venture partners in the Dussafu PSC, and with VAALCO Energy as the operator of the adjacent Etame PSC. Together, the partners will jointly implement safe, efficient, and cost-effective operations whilst leveraging subsurface and production learnings from Dussafu and Etame to accelerate value creation.
