Gabon postpones tender on environmental fears

摘要

Cape Town-Gabon has decided to postpone indefinitely its planned 10th licensing round because of environmental concerns, a senior energy ministry official said October 19. The round was due to open October 27 and was to be the first time Libreville offered blocks in the country’s ultra deepwater. “It is a government decision and about environmental concerns,” the ministry’s exploration director Martial Rufin Moussavou told Platts.
