Wentworth received confirmation from Mozambique’s Instituto Nacional de Petroleo (INP) that its extension on the Tembo block was granted. The extension allows Wentworth and its partner ENH to continue to progress pre-drill activities on the block.
The extension request was in part related to the above ground security situation in and around the Macimboa da Praia and Palma regions, adjacent to the Tembo block, which remain challenging. This has prevented safe access to the area for Wentworth staff and contractors. The company continues to monitor the situation closely.
Bob McBean, Executive Chairman, said: “We would like to thank the Minister, INP and our partner ENH for their support in securing this extension to the Tembo licence, which gives us the time and flexibility to progress our operational activities on the block. We remain focused on securing an additional partner to share risk in unlocking the onshore potential of the Rovuma Basin.”
