“We look forward to building on our valued relationship with both companies as we progress through the critical concept selection phases of the Greater Buchan Area development project.”

In July, the company secured 100% working interests and operatorship of three blocks in the Oil & Gas Authority’s (OGA) 31st Supplementary Offshore Licensing Round.

The acreage awarded includes the GBA and the J2 oil discovery and is contiguous with the company’s existing interest in Licence P2170 comprising Blocks 20/5b and 21/1d.

In the same month, JOG signed a three-month option agreement with Equinor, under which the latter has secured an option over a 50% equity interest in respect of Blocks 20/5d and 21/1a (Buchan Blocks).
