據油田技術7月7日消息稱，加拿大真力時能源公司已與剛果的一家當地石油和天然氣公司簽訂了合資協議。

該協議的主要目標是獲得陸上石油生產許可證，2019年該地區已探明的Mengo地層的產量約為300桶/天。生產目前已暫停，等待新許可證的發放。

潛在的收購地點位于剛果共和國的Kouilou地區，靠近該國第二大城市黑角，并且也在該公司最近收購的石油生產資產附近。

首席執行官Andrea Cattaneo評論說：“眾所周知，公司的高級管理人員目前在剛果共和國與有關當局進行談判，以獲得與極具前景的羅非魚資產有關的25年新許可證。我們在剛果黑角和首都布拉柴維爾等城市的業務，為我們獲得一些極具吸引力的國內機會提供了便利。鑒于最近油價下跌，這些機會在商業上更具吸引力。

潛在的收購有兩個關鍵的特點，使其與我們的投資組合高度兼容:短期盈利的生產潛力和逐步提高產量的重大開發潛力，由于潛在的巨大石油儲量，需要根據加拿大國家文書51-101進行獨立評估。”

Zenith Energy enters partnership for acquisition of oil production asset in Republic of the Congo

Zenith Energy has entered into a joint venture agreement with a local oil and gas company in the Republic of the Congo.

The primary objective of the agreement is the potential acquisition of an onshore oil production licence last producing at a rate of approximately 300 bpd from the regionally proven Mengo formation as recently as 2019. Production has currently been suspended pending the assignation of a new licence.

The potential acquisition is located in the Kouilou region of the Republic of the Congo in proximity of Pointe-Noire, the country’s second largest city, and is also in the vicinity of Tilapia, the company’s recently acquired oil production asset.

Andrea Cattaneo, CEO, commented: "As is known by shareholders, the company’s senior management is currently in the Republic of the Congo conducting negotiations with the relevant authorities for the attribution of a new 25-year licence in relation to the highly prospective Tilapia asset. Our presence in the cities of Pointe-Noire and Brazzaville, the capital of the Republic of the Congo, has facilitated access to a number of compelling domestic opportunities, which have become even more commercially attractive in view of the recent decline in oil prices.

The potential acquisition has two key qualities that render it highly compatible to our portfolio: near-term profitable production potential and significant development potential to progressively maximise production on account of the potentially highly significant oil reserves in place which will require independent evaluation under Canadian National Instrument 51-101."
