A handover ceremony was held in Muscat today in the presence of MOG Undersecretary Salim Al Aufi, together with representatives from DNO, MOG, OOCEP and license partner LG International in attendance.
"Since inception, Block 8 has produced 35 million bbls and 285 billion ft3 of gas, generating the Sultanate of Oman about US$1 billion in total revenues," said DNO's Managing Director Bjørn Dale during the handover ceremony.
Offshore Block 8, which contains the Bukha and West Bukha fields, produced an average of 4458 boe/d during 2018.
Effective 4 January 2019, with the expiry of the 30-year commercial term of the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement, Block 8 will be operated by the Musandam Oil and Gas Company, fully-owned by OOCEP.
DNO held a 50% interest in the license alongside LG International, which held the remaining 50% interest.
