Assessing opportunities in Nicaragua

World º£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø,


On 3 September, Statoil signed a Petronic-Statoil co-operation agreement (a letter of intent) with the intention to find ways to cooperate in oil and gas activities offshore Nicaraguaº£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø™s Pacific coast.

The consortium (Statoil and Petronic) has also sent a request to the Nicaraguan Ministry of Energy of Mines (MEM) to request start of exclusive negotiations for concession contracts offshore Nicaraguaº£½Ç³Ô¹ÏÍø™s Pacific coast. This request is pending MEM approval. This is an early phase, but a first step towards possible exploration activities offshore Nicaragua.
