该公司正在收购丹佛阿姆斯特朗能源有限公司(Armstrong Energy LLC)持有的25.5%的剩余股权，以及阿姆斯特朗子公司GMT勘探公司在Pikka厂和马蹄矿地区持有的37.5%的股权。另有37.5%的股权租赁到东部的色调页岩，25.5%的股权在其他勘探地区。这笔交易价值4.5亿美元。

雷普索尔将在Pikka和马蹄地各持有49%的股权，在其他勘探地区各持有37.24%的股权。

石油搜索公司计划在2020年上半年剥离阿拉斯加部分股权，然后对Pikka厂的开发做出最后的投资决定。该公司预计将保留约35%的核心资产。

2018-19年，它在Pikka装置完成了两口钻机，四口井的钻井计划，并计划在2019-20年再钻两口井。新项目将评估纳努舒克油田和Pikka厂以南马蹄地区的上游资源潜力。

它设想利用相邻租约的设施进行早期生产，然后安装专用设施，以便在2024年将产量增加12万桶/日。

Oil Search expands interests in Alaska

Oil Search Ltd., Port Moresby, has exercised an option to increase its oil and gas interests in Alaska with a view toward starting 30,000 b/d of early production by 2022 from Nanushuk oil field in the Pikka Unit (OGJ Online, Jan. 25, 2019).

It is buying remaining interests of 25.5% held by Armstrong Energy LLC, Denver, and 37.5% held by Armstrong affiliate GMT Exploration Co. in the Pikka Unit and Horseshoe area and a further 37.5% interest in the Hue Shale leases to the east and a 25.5% interest in other exploration areas. The deal value is $450 million.

It also plans to realign interests with partner Repsol.

After the transactions, Oil Search will hold 51% interests each in the Pikka Unit and Horseshoe area, a 38.76% interest in other exploration areas, and a 75% interest in the Hue shale area.

Armstrong/GMT Exploration will hold a 24% interest in other exploration areas and a 25% interest in the Hue shale.

And Repsol will hold 49% interests each in the Pikka Unit and Horseshoe area and a 37.24% interest in other exploration areas.

Oil Search plans to divest some of its Alaskan interests in the first half of 2020 before making a final investment decision on Pikka Unit development. It expects to retain about 35% of its core assets.

It completed a two-rig, four-well drilling program in the Pikka Unit during 2018-19 and plans to drill two more wells in 2019-20. The new program will assess upside resource potential of Nanushuk field and of the Horseshoe area south of the Pikka Unit.

It envisions the use of facilities on adjacent leases for early production followed by installation of dedicated facilities to allow production to increase by 120,000 b/d in 2024.
