Chariot has announced that, along with its partner the Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines (ONHYM), it has agreed on key principles for long-term gas sales from the Anchois Gas Project with the Office National de l’Electricité et de l’Eau Potable (ONEE).
Key principles include:
With the preliminary key principles now agreed upon, the parties will continue discussions regarding Anchois with a view to concluding the binding gas sales agreement. Whilst there is no guarantee that these principles will be turned into a fully termed GSA, the parties are progressing with the next stage of documentation. The company will provide further updates as required.
Amina Benkhadra, General Director Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines, commented: “Agreeing these key principles is indicative of our commitment to the development of the Anchois gas field. We are pleased to be working in partnership with Chariot on this asset which has the potential to deliver a range of benefits to the country.”
Abderrahim El Hafidi, General Director, Office National de l’Electricité et de l’Eau Potable, stated: “The Anchois gas project will be an important source of domestic natural gas that will initially feed directly into ONEE’s power plants via the Maghreb-Europe Gas Pipeline. We are interested to conclude this sales agreement and for Anchois to continue to progress towards production.”
Adonis Pouroulis, CEO of Chariot Limited, concluded: “This is a notable step forward for us in our journey towards gas production and underpins the project development plan and financing. I would like to thank ONEE and ONYHM for their ongoing support, and we look forward to continuing to work together to bring this important natural gas supply onstream and into the Moroccan market as quickly as possible.”
Anchois is located within the Lixus Offshore license, offshore Morocco in which Chariot holds a 75% interest and operatorship, alongside ONHYM which holds a 25% interest.
