Kistos (伦敦证券交易所代码：KIST) 欣然宣布，TotalEnergies 与 Kistos 作为合资伙伴（“合资伙伴”），已获得位于英国设得兰群岛西部大拉根地区的七个新区块或部分区块。许可轮结束后，Kistos 将持有所有区块 33.3% 的权益，TotalEnergies 将担任运营商。

这些区块位于大拉根地区（“GLA”）内，合资伙伴已在该地区从 Laggan、Tormore、Glenlivet 和 Edradour 油田生产石油和天然气。这些区块是在第 33 轮海上许可申请中申请的，提交时间为 2023 年 1 月，在 Kistos 于 2022 年从 TotalEnergies 收购 20% 的非运营股份之前，这些区块曾由 GLA JV 持有。

这些区块包括之前确定的 Ballechin 勘探前景，此次授予支持了合资伙伴寻找机会延长现有基础设施的使用寿命并最大化经济产出的努力。工作计划包括对合资伙伴已经拥有的地震数据集进行研究。

Kistos (LON: KIST), is pleased to announce that TotalEnergies, together with Kistos as joint venture partners (the "JV Partners"), has been offered seven new blocks or part blocks in the Greater Laggan Area, West of Shetlands offshore the UK. On completion of the licencing round, Kistos will hold a 33.3% working interest in all of the acreage, with TotalEnergies assuming Operator status.

These blocks lie within the Greater Laggan Area ("GLA"), where the JV Partners already produce oil and gas from the Laggan, Tormore, Glenlivet, and Edradour fields. The blocks were applied for during the 33rd Offshore licencing round, with submissions made in January 2023, and were previously held by the GLA JV prior to Kistos' acquisition of 20% non-operated stake from TotalEnergies in 2022.

The award of these blocks, which include the previously identified Ballechin exploration prospect, supports the JV Partners' efforts to identify opportunities to extend the life of existing infrastructure and maximise economic output. The work programme includes studies on a seismic dataset that is already owned by the JV Partners.
