Petro Matad, the AIM quoted Mongolian oil company, has announced the signature of an Oil Sales Agreement for Block XX crude oil.
On 28 April 2025, Petro Matad and PetroChina Daqing Tamsag, the operator of neighbouring Block XIX, signed the Oil Sales Agreement covering storage, processing, transport and export of Block XX crude oil production. Petro Matad's invoices for the production from the Heron 1 well for the period 24 October 2024 to 31 March 2025 have been submitted and, under the agreement, will be processed for payment during the month of May.
Point forward, Petro Matad is required to submit an invoice for each month's production on or before the tenth day of the subsequent month and payment will be made during the last week of the month based on the average benchmarked price of Daqing crude oil for the month of production. Custody transfer of Block XX oil takes place at the Block XIX processing facilities and PetroChina is responsible for processing, transport and export of the crude to the buyers in China.
Mike Buck, CEO of Petro Matad, said:
'We are delighted to have signed the oil sales agreement for the commercialisation of Block XX production. This involved a number of firsts for Mongolia and whilst the process was slow, we are grateful to the Mongolian authorities and to PetroChina for their support. We look forward to establishing a cooperative routine in the sales process in the same way that the field crews in Blocks XIX and XX have done in the production operations over the last 6 months and to receiving payment for all the oil produced to date during the month of May.'
Further operational updates will be provided in due course.
