ConocoPhillips enters set of agreements with PetroChina
20 February 2013
ConocoPhillips has entered into a set of agreements with PetroChina Company Ltd. (PetroChina) whereby PetroChina will acquire an interest in two Western Australia exploration assets and establish a Joint Study Agreement (JSA) for unconventional resource development in Sichuan Basin in China.
Under these agreements, which still require government and partner approvals, PetroChina will acquire a 20% working interest in the Poseidon offshore discovery in the Browse Basin, and of 29% in the Goldwyer Shale in the onshore Canning Basin.
In addition, ConocoPhillips and PetroChina will study the potential for unconventional resource development in the approximately 500,000 acre Neijiang-Dazu Shale Block in the Sichuan Basin. The joint study will be an important step in evaluating the potential for unconventional resource exploration in the area.
If technically and commercially viable, the companies will advance development under a production sharing contract, which would be agreed upon during the study period.
