Oslo, 7 April 2026 - Panoro Energy ASA ("Panoro" or the "Company") is pleased to
announce the joint venture partners have received government approval for an
amendment to the Dussafu Marin Production Sharing Contract ("PSC") offshore
Gabon which provides for a material time extension of the PSC up to the year
2053. Panoro holds a 17.5 percent interest in Dussafu.
Highlights
· Extends the total period of the Exclusive Exploitation Authorisation under
the PSC to 2053 inclusive of three five-year option periods from 2038 onwards
· Supports future development phases and investments in infrastructure that
will yield material economic benefit to all stakeholders
· Scope to positively impact Panoro's 2P reserves at Dussafu in the future
· Creates the opportunity to unlock and fully realise the vast exploration and
appraisal upside potential of the block, as well as in the adjacent Niosi and
Guduma exploration blocks where Panoro holds a 25 percent interest
Prior to the extension the PSC duration was until 2038 inclusive of two five
-year option periods from 2028 onwards.
Eric d'Argentre, Chief Operating Officer and President of Panoro, commented:
"We are excited to announce this material time extension of the Dussafu PSC
which is a key catalyst towards realising the block's full economic potential in
the coming years by maximising the block's production of 2P reserves and
unlocking the vast resource potential. This very welcome news will allow us to
confidently plan future phases of investment, including the Bourdon discovery
which the joint-venture partners are maturing towards final investment decision
and other as-yet undeveloped discoveries and prospects.
The organic development opportunities at Dussafu are significant, and we
continue to be firmly focused on creating maximum value and growth for all
stakeholders. We are on-track to commence the four-well MaBoMo Phase 2
development drilling programme mid-year which is expected to return gross
production at Dussafu to nameplate capacity of around 40,000 bopd when all new
wells are onstream. We have also identified two potential appraisal targets that
could be drilled after the MaBoMo Phase 2 wells and offer additional fast-track
/ cost-effective production opportunities.
I would like to thank the Ministry of Petroleum and Gas, Government of Gabon and
our joint venture partners on the collaborative effort in delivering this
important extension which stabilises the long-term future of Dussafu allowing us
to look forward to many more years of successful operations."
