The agreements will reduce the company’s working interest from 85% to 60%, and strengthen its operating and business profile in the licence.
The farm-out will make AGR the lead operator of the licence, with Adira as a cooperator, pursuant to the agreement.
The licence owners will negotiate a joint operator agreement to regulate the commercial relationship.
