Tunisian authorities Comité Consultatif des Hydrocarbures granted ADX Energy an additional six-month extension of the exploration period for the Kerkouane permit, offshore Tunisia.
The extension ends on 7 August 2016.
The ADX-operated Kerkouane permit contains appraisal and exploration prospects, such as the multi target Dougga West oil and gas prospect and the Dougga gas condensate discovery.
ADX is seeking to farm-out part of its interest to fund the drilling of the next well.
