PetroChina gets 40 pct exploration rights to Qatar's Block 4
DOHA, July 25 (Reuters) - PetroChina, Asia's largest oil and gas
producer, signed an agreement to acquire 40 percent of exploration and
production rights for Qatar's Block 4 from GDF Suez Qatar, which is the operator
of the block, Qatar Petroleum said in a statement on Wednesday.
Under the agreement, QP authorises PetroChina Investment to acquire 40
percent of the exploration and production rights from GDF Suez under Qatar's
exploration and production sharing agreement (EPSA) for Block 4, an offshore
block located north of the Gulf Arab state.
GDF Suez Qatar will continue to be the operator of the block with its 60
percent stake.
The block, close to the North Field, extends for more than 2,500 square
kilometers in area at water depths up to 75 meters.
The two partners will begin drilling in Block 4 in the next few
months.
