AIM-listed Chariot Limited, the Africa focused transitional energy group, has announced that following receipt of all necessary Moroccan governmental and regulatory approvals, the Partnership Agreements with Energean, as announced on 7 December 2023, have now fully completed.

  • Energean now holds 45% and 37.5% of the respective interests in, and is operator of, the Lixus and Rissana licences, offshore Morocco
  • Chariot retains 30% and 37.5% of the respective interests in these licences, with ONHYM maintaining a 25% stake in each
  • Chariot has now received the US$10 million upfront cash consideration from Energean

In addition, a rig contract has been signed with Stena Drilling for the use of its Stena Forth drill ship for the Anchois-East appraisal and development well and an optional well, located within the Lixus licence. This drilling and testing campaign will be conducted in Q3 2024 which will further appraise the existing gas sands, including flow testing, and target undrilled prospective resources to look to increase the Anchois gas development to over 1 Tcf.
