What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Falkland Islands Government announced the extension of all existing offshore hydrocarbon production licences for an initial period of five years, with a further two optional years at its discretion. These licences, which are currently in the exploration term, are subject to satisfactory progress against their work programmes. The government also approved the acquisition by Navitas Petroleum Atlantic Limited of a 65% stake in licence area PL001, which was due to expire on December 31 this year.
