MEO出售Beehive勘探遠景區股權

Australian oil and gas exploration company MEO Australia is in talks with four companies over the farmout process for its WA-488-P block offshore W. Australia, containing the giant Beehive prospect.

MEO started a farm-out process to secure funding partners to progress the technical assessment of, and ultimately drill, the Beehive prospect, following conclusion of the recent seismic reprocessing and inversion project which, MEO says, has reinvigorated interest from major players.
To date, four substantial companies have engaged in the process and are actively reviewing the technical data for WA-488-P. MEO has said it is seeking responses from these potential farminees by the end of October 2016, but timing remains subject to ongoing market conditions and the addition of any new parties to the process.

MEO says Beehive is potentially a multi-billion barrel, oil prone prospect in the Bonaparte Basin located in 40m water depth next to the producing Blacktip field. It is potentially the largest undrilled oil prospect offshore Australia, developable by either FPSO or pipeline.
