In light of the significant improvement of the Country’s sanitary conditions, the Minister of Oil, Gas, Hydrocarbons and Mines has just set and announced a new deadline for the submission of offers in the 12th Licensing Round: 30 June 2021.

This Licensing Round was launched in late 2018, and the original deadline for the submission of offers was 30 April 2020. Owing to the then-existing health crisis, the Minister decided to postpone the deadline sine die.

Information on the 35 shallow and deepwater blocks on offer, as well as on the Licensing Round procedures, may be found on the dedicated official website.
