CMOP + 227 April 10, 2018 Adnoc will make available 6 new onshore and offshore blocks for competitive bid within Abu Dhabi. Our estimates suggest that these new blocks contain substantial amounts of hydrocarbons. Out of the 6 new blocks, 4 are onshore and two offshore. In total, the 6 blocks comprise an area of 30,000 square kilometres. Successful bidders will gain the rights to explore for oil and gas. Partners will have the opportunity, alongside Adnoc, to develop and benefit from any discoveries throughout their lifecycle. It will start from Abu Dhabi on April 23. Registration is open now. The closing date for receipt of bids will be in October. The first bid round is planned to conclude this year with announcement of successful bidders. Let the bidding war begin. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
