JOHANNESBURG, South AfricaChevron has signed an agreement with Equatorial Guinea’s government for offshore block EG09 in the Douala basin, on the border with Cameroon.

The company will operate with an 80% interest, the remainder held by state-owned GEPetrol. Late last year Chevron entered E&P in the country via its acquisition of Noble Energy, and has since started operations through the Alen gas pipeline which takes production from the offshore Alen field to onshore processing facilities.

PetroSA previously operated block EG09, which is close to various discoveries, including Noble’s 2019 oil find Aseng 6P in block 1 which is already in production.
