The LOI contemplates that the two companies will work to sign definitive documents within 45 days unless extended by further agreement. SAPETRO's responsibility for financial commitments related to the concession begins immediately but will not be due for payment until final approvals from the government of Guinea are received.
"The addition of SAPETRO to the Guinea project team represents a big step forward in sharing project-related costs and risks with reputable industry players who recognize Hyperdynamics' Guinea concession's economic attractiveness and geologic prospectivity," said Ray Leonard, Hyperdynamics' President and Chief Executive Officer. "SAPETRO's experience in West Africa, its financial strength and its desire to have an exposure in high-quality, high-reward exploration acreage that will be tested in the near future makes them an ideal partner for us."
Based in Lagos, Nigeria, SAPETRO holds a 15% interest in the prolific OML 130 license offshore Nigeria, operated by Total. The block contains two fields containing each in excess of 550 million barrels of oil, with the Akpo field reaching peak production of 197,000 barrels of oil per day in 2010 and the Egina field planned to come on stream in the second quarter of 2018 reaching a peak production rate of 200,000 barrels of oil per day by the end of 2018.
