據7月6日Trade Arabia消息：專注于石油勘探和生產的瑞典能源公司特提斯石油表示，該公司已與阿曼政府就阿曼58區塊陸上油田達成勘探和生產共享協議(EPSA)。

該區塊位于蘇丹南部，毗鄰特提斯石油已獲得勘探許可的49區塊。特提斯石油將通過其全資子公司Tethys Oil Qatbeet成為該區塊的運營者，并持有100%的許可證權益。

58區塊橫跨南阿曼鹽盆地西側和西部變形前緣，面積為4557平方公里。

特提斯石油提供7600公里的二維地震數據和1100平方公里的三維地震數據，以及區塊邊界內兩口井的原始測井和井況報告。兩口井都出現了油氣顯示。

58區塊的EPSA涵蓋最初的三年勘探期，以及可選的三年擴展期。如果發現了商業性石油或天然氣，EPSA將轉換為15年的生產許可證，并可再延長5年。

如果有商業發現，阿曼政府有權獲得58區塊最多30％的權益，以退還過去的支出。在第一階段的最初工作承諾包括三維地震活動和鉆探兩個勘探井。

“我們很高興有機會在58號區塊勘探碳氫化合物。該EPSA的簽署標志著特提斯石油在阿曼蘇丹國的戰略又邁出了一步。”特提斯總經理馬格努斯·諾丁說。

Tethys Oil signs new exploration block onshore Oman

Tethys Oil, a Swedish energy company focused on exploration and production of oil, said that it has entered into an Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA) with the Government of Oman for Block 58 onshore Oman.

The block is located in the southern part of the Sultanate adjacent to Tethys Oil’s operated exploration licence Block 49. Tethys Oil will through its wholly owned subsidiary Tethys Oil Qatbeet be the operator of the block and hold a 100% license interest.

The EPSA was signed by Dr Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhi, Minister of Oil and Gas on behalf of the Government of Oman and Hussain bin Ahmed Al Lawati, Executive Director of External and Corporate Affairs for Tethys Oil.

Block 58 is located in the Dhofar Governorate in the southern part of Oman and covers an area of 4,557 sq km. Block 58 straddles the western flank of the South Oman Salt Basin and the Western Deformation Front.

A total of 7,600 km of 2D seismic and 1,100 sq km of 3D seismic data acquired by previous operators has been made available to Tethys Oil as well as raw logs and well reports from two wells drilled within the block boundaries. Both wells encountered hydrocarbon shows. Multiple play concepts are believed to exist within the block boundaries, including plays familiar to Tethys, with several leads identified.

The EPSA for Block 58 covers an initial exploration period of three years with an optional extension period of another three years. In case of a commercial oil or gas discovery, the EPSA will be transformed in to a 15 year production license which can be extended for another five years.

In case of a commercial discovery, an Oman Government Company has a right to acquire up to a 30% interest in Block 58 against refunding of past expenditure. The initial work commitments during the first period include a 3D seismic campaign and drilling of two exploration wells.

“We are very happy to have been given the opportunity to explore for hydrocarbons on Block 58. The signing of this EPSA represents another step in Tethys Oil’s strategy in Sultanate of Oman. I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to the Government of the Sultanate of Oman for this exciting opportunity,” said Tethys Managing Director Magnus Nordin.
