lukoil bags Fortuna gas block offshore Equatorial guinea

摘要

London-Russia’s Lukoil has bagged a coveted gas-rich exploration block off Equatorial Guinea that contains the stalled Fortuna LNG project, the African country’s ministry of mines and hydrocarbons said Tuesday. Equatorial Guinea stripped UK-based Ophir Energy of its license to develop the major offshore Fortuna gas discovery earlier this year after Ophir failed to secure financing for the project.
