SOSINA and Providence Resources grants TOTAL an exclusive option over FEL 2/14
Under the terms of the Option, TOTAL has the option and the right, but not the obligation, to farm-in to a 35% working interest in FEL 2/14 from Providence & SOSINA subject to the payment of USD27 million to Providence and SOSINA (USD21.6 million and USD5.4 million, respectively). The Option can only be exercised by TOTAL within 60 business days of the completion (plugging and abandoning) of the upcoming 53/6-A well, which is planned to spud in late June 2017 targeting the Druid and Drombeg prospects.
The total consideration to be paid by TOTAL to Providence & SOSINA (on a pro rata 80/20 basis) is as follows:
- USD 20.250 million - payable within 10 business days of 6 June 2017.
- USD 6.750 million - payable no later than three business days following the issuance of the P&A notice for the 53/6-A well.
If TOTAL subsequently elects to exercise the Option, Providence, SOSINA and TOTAL will enter into an agreed form Farm-in Agreement to effect the transfer of 35% working interest and Operatorship in FEL 2/14 to TOTAL. Any farm-in would be subject to the approval by the Minister of Communications, Climate Action and Environment.
