Under the terms of the exploration and production sharing agreement (EPSA), the parties will develop four existing gas fields and explore for potential new discoveries in a newly formed contract area in northern Oman. The 20-year agreement covers a 2,269sqkm area.
Occidental Petroleum Corporation (Oxy) will serve as operator under the EPSA and hold a 48% interest, with Mubadala Development Company of Abu Dhabi (Mubadala) holding a 32% interest and the Oman Oil Company holding the remaining 20%.
Exploration, appraisal and development activities will commence immediately. Production from the area is expected to begin in 2010 and reach a plateau of approximately 27,500 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) by year-end 2011. Oxy's net share of production at plateau is expected to be approximately 10,000boepd, with Mubadala's net share around 6,000boepd.
