AGR and SP Offshore Energy Services signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) under which AGR will provide a range of exploration services and the drilling of an ultra deepwater (UDW) well off the Comoros Islands, between Mozambique and the Comoros.
SP Offshore, through its subsidiary SPO E&P (Comoros) SARL, works exclusively for Western Energy (USA) and Safari Petroleum (Jersey) in the territorial waters of the Comoros.
Western Energy East Africa LTD & Safari Petroleum Indian Ocean Ltd. were awarded a production sharing contract in Blocks 38, 39, and 40 in the Comoros in March 2014. It now plans a program of exploration studies including seismic interpretation, basin modeling, and resource assessments, followed by the drilling of an UDW exploration well.
“The combination of our reservoir management and well management divisions gives us the capability and the scale to support activities from exploration through to drilling and development, anywhere in the world,”Ian Burdis, AGR’s executive vice president, UK & West Africa said.
