African Petroleum: Licence Update - Sierra Leone

Thursday 22 November 2018

African Petroleum Corporation Limited issued the following update with regards to its two operated licences in Sierra Leone.

It has been determined that the Company will relinquish its interests in licenses SL-03-17 and SL-4A-17 with immediate effect. The relinquishment of the licences is a result of the decision to not commit to an ultra-deep water drilling program and follows a period of discussion with the Petroleum Directorate of Sierra Leone, during which the parties failed to agree an extension to the licences on suitable terms.
