Genel Energy again expands Morocco footprint
8:27 am by Jamie AshcroftGenel has a 75% stake in Mir Left and will be the operator
Anglo-Turkish oil firm Genel Energy (LON:GENL) has again expanded its footprint in Morocco.
It has signed a petroleum agreement with the Office National des Hydrocarbures et de Mines (ONHYM) for the Mir Left Offshore Block.
Genel has a 75% stake and will be the operator of the new offshore block, while ONHYM retains a 25% stake.
Initially Genel must acquire a minimum of 400 square kilometres of 3D seismic data and drill one exploration well over a three year exploration period. Beyond that there are two further exploration periods – for three and two years respectively.
"We are delighted to have signed this new block, further deepening our position in the fairway associated with the proven working petroleum system in offshore Morocco,” said John Hurst, Genel’s chief operating officer for Africa.
“We intend to commence the acquisition of 3D seismic in January 2013, with the aim of drilling our first well in 2014."
Mir Left spans 3,259 square kilometres, in water depths of 60 to 320 metres, and lies immediately adjacent to the Sidi Moussa block.

Genel Energy expects revenues to be ahead of previous guidance and all development and exploration activities in Kurdistan to be funded from cash flow generated locally in line with its stated strategy.
Genel Energy's average net working interest production for 2012 was in line with guidance at 44,500 barrels of oil per day (2011: 42,000 bopd).
During the course of the year production from Genel Energy's two producing assets, Taq Taq and Tawke, has been sold into both domestic and export markets.
Chief executive Tony Hayward said: "2012 saw a strong production performance and a materially expanded exploration portfolio which will provide us with significant opportunities in 2013, both in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and Africa."

Genel Energy completes the acquisition of the remaining 49% interest in the Miran Block
Genel Energy announces that closing has taken place on its acquisition of the remaining 49 per cent participating interest in the Miran exploration block in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (the "Miran Block").
On 12 November 2012, Genel Energy announced that Heritage Oil Plc ("Heritage") issued the Exchange Repayment Notice signifying its intention to repay the $294 million loan made by Genel Energy to Heritage in August 2012 through the transfer of Heritage's remaining 49 per cent participating interest. The transfer was subject to the approval of Heritage's shareholders in a general meeting and, among other customary closing conditions, receipt of relevant approvals being granted by the Regional Council for the Oil and Gas Affairs of Kurdistan.
Following closing and formal approval of the transfer by the Regional Council, Genel Energy now owns 100 per cent participating interest in the Miran Block (75 per cent working interest post KRG back-in right) and has become the sole operator.

JP Morgan Cazenove has reviewed it stance on the UK Exploration & Production sector today highlighting the fact that the sector had underperformed the broader market up to the end of the year. This reappraisal has led the US bank to downgrade a number of stocks in its coverage including SOCO International (LON:SIA) , Serica Energy (LON:SQZ), Genel Energy (LON:GENL) and Afren (LON:AFR) which have all been downgraded to "neutral" from "overweight". The City broker cut its price targets across the board reflecting its downbeat near-term outlook, which included: SOCO International - reduced to 418p (from 420p), Serica Energy - reduced to 47p (from 50p), Genel Energy reduced to 940p (from 1,060p) and Afren reduced to 195p (from 210p) In a note issued to clients today, analyst James Thompson said: "On a more structural theme, we see the relatively easy access to acreage that E&P companies have enjoyed for a decade coming to an end as big oil steps up the hunt for resources. Near term, we lower our exposure to political risk, particularly in the MENA region, and instead turn our focus to the exploration story that remains the sector's lifeblood."
