Field/project development
The Loran Phase 2 license award builds on BP’s growing presence in Venezuela as it seeks to develop offshore projects, particularly shared fields near Venezuela’s maritime border with Trinidad and Tobago.
ExxonMobil and its Area 4 partners have awarded $1.1 billion in pre-investment contracts for long-lead upstream equipment supporting Mozambique's Rovuma LNG project. The awards, led by OneSubsea, mark a key step toward FID as development advances on ExxonMobil's largest global investment.
Gran Tierra will refocus its investment strategy to strengthen its portfolio in Canada and Azerbaijan while Maurel & Prom, majority owned by Pertamina’s international upstream arm, grows its South American footprint in Colombia and Ecuador.
