据石油新闻伦敦报道，澳大利亚石油勘探公司FAR 有限公司（FAR）11月11日表示，该公司已同意向印度石油天然气公司(ONGC)出售其在塞内加尔海上区块的全部股份，其中包括塞内加尔的首个石油项目Sangomar项目。

FAR总经理卡特·诺尔曼承认，出售塞内加尔海上包括Sangomar区块在内的3个区块的全部股份是“一个苦乐参半的时刻”，但FAR仍将致力于冈比亚和几内亚比绍的石油项目。

ONGC旗下海外子公司ONGC Vides在一份声明中证实，该公司已同意为3个区块的28.67%股份支付4500万美元以及更多的补偿。

诺尔曼说：“自今年3月感受到新冠肺炎疫情的影响以来，融资和出售资产的市场一直疲软。”“在这种情况下，ONGC Vides的出价是目前可获得的最佳选择，我们相信我们的股东将投票支持这笔交易。”

目标为2.3亿桶的Sangomar项目第一阶段的最终投资决定是在今年1月份做出的，预计将在2023年产出首批石油。

Sangomar项目第一阶段的最高石油日产量预计将达到10万桶。可开采石油资源估计为5亿桶，还计划铺设一条通往塞内加尔沿海地区的天然气管道。

Australia's FAR to sell Senegalese blocks to India's ONGC in 'bittersweet' deal

Oil explorer FAR Limited has agreed to sell its entire stake in its Senegal offshore blocks, which contain the country's maiden oil project -- Sangomar -- to India's ONGC, it said Nov. 11.

FAR's Managing Director Cath Norman admitted that the sale of the Rufisque, Sangomar and Sangomar blocks offshore Senegal is "a bittersweet moment" but that it remained committed to projects in The Gambia and Guinea-Bissau.

ONGC Videsh, the overseas arm of India's ONGC, confirmed in a statement that it had agreed to pay FAR S$45 million for a 13.67% interest in the Sangomar field and a 15% stake in the remaining contract area of the Rufisque, Sangomar Offshore and Sangomar block, along with some more reimbursements.

"The market for financing and selling assets has been weak since the impact of COVID-19 was felt in March of this year," Norman said. "In these circumstances, the offer from ONGC represents the best option available at this time and we trust that our shareholders will vote for this transaction."

A final investment decision on the first phase of Sangomar, targeting 230 million barrels, was taken in January, with first oil expected in 2023.

The field is expected to produce 100,000 b/d at its peak in phase 1. Total recoverable oil resources are estimated at 500 million barrels, with a gas pipeline to shore also envisaged.
