Under the third amendment, 50% of SCS's participating interest in the Guinea concession will be assigned to Sapetro.
It also provides the right to these two companies to explore oil and gas on a 5,000km² block located offshore from the Republic of Guinea.
Under the contract, drilling operations must begin on an initial exploratory well before 30 May and additional exploration wells may be drilled within the exploration period at the companies’ discretion.
The amendment also reaffirms clear title of Sapetro and SCS to the concession and timing for a $5m security instrument to be provided by the companies within 30 days from the date of the presidential decree and released at that time when the drilling rig for the Fatala well enters Guinea territorial waters.
