图洛石油获加蓬近海区块10%权益

中国石化新闻网讯 据12月19日Offshore Energy 报道，图洛石油公司已经成为加蓬Dussafu许可联合经营协议的缔约方，Dussafu由BW能源公司运营。

此前有报道称，图洛在2019年3月行使了10%的Dussafu生产分成合同的回售权。行使回售权的前提是，图洛必须偿还其他各方与Dussafu开发相关的历史成本。

偿还金额一直受到争议，不过，BW能源公司周四表示，双方“目前已就无可争议的成本部分达成协议，截至2019年10月底，双方的成本总额为4090万美元。

图洛向现有合作伙伴支付的净金额为1980万美元，这是根据该公司自2018年9月开始生产石油以来的净开采权以及代表他们进行的一些盈余现金调用调整后的结果。应付给BW能源公司的净金额为1590万美元。

2019年12月17日，图洛与Dussafu生产分成合同的利益各方签订了一份修订协议，随后，该公司成为了Dussafu许可联合经营协议的缔约方。随交易的完成，BW 能源公司将占有73.5%的权益、Tullow占有10%的权益、加蓬石油公司占有9的权益和Panoro占有7.5%的权益。

目前谈判正在进行，以解决有争议的费用，这些费用共计1 870万美元。如果不能达成协议，争议将提交仲裁解决。BW能源公司在争议成本中所占的份额达81.667%。

Tullow takes 10 pct in Dussafu block offshore Gabon

Tullow Oil has become a party to the Dussafu license joint operating agreement in Gabon. Dussafu is operated by BW Energy.

As previously reported, Tullow in March 2019 exercised its 10% back-in right to the Dussafu production sharing contract (“PSC”). The exercise of the back-in right was subject to Tullow reimbursing the other Parties for its share of historic costs related to the Dussafu development.

The total amount has been disputed by the companies involved, however, BW Energy on Thursday said the parties “have now reached an agreement for the undisputed share of the costs, representing a total of USD 40.9 million as at the end of October 2019.”

The net amount payable by Tullow to the existing partners is $19.8 million after adjusting for Tullow’s net lifting entitlement since the start of oil production in September 2018 and some surplus cash-calls made on their behalf. The net amount payable to BW Energy is $15.9 million.

Tullow and the existing parties to the Dussafu production sharing contract on December 17, 2019, entered into a deed of novation and amendment by which Tullow became a party to the Dussafu joint operating agreement. Following the completion of the back-in right, the interests of the Parties in the PSC will be: BW Energy (73.5%), Tullow (10%), Gabon Oil Company (9%) and Panoro (7.5%).

Negotiations are ongoing to resolve the disputed costs, which amount to an additional $18.7 million. If an agreement is not reached then the dispute will be submitted to a simplified arbitration. BW Energy’s share of the disputed costs is 81.667%.
