This story was first published on the Hawilti+ Terminal on 13 September 2023. Côte d’Ivoire’s Cabinet has adopted a resolution on September 13th on the signing of a new production sharing contract (PSC) for block CI-705 with Ivory Coast Exploration (ICE) Oil & Gas. The block is located offshore Fresco and was relinquished by TotalEnergies in June 2022 after the unsuccessful drilling of the Barracuda-1X well. The block contains Albian structural closures, with structural prospects like Barracuda South yet to be tested. The award of the block to ICE is a win for Côte d’Ivoire’s local content as the company is majority-owned by Ivorian nationals. 2023 has marked a turning point for Côte d’Ivoire’s upstream sector after the commissioning of Eni’s offshore Baleine Field (phase 1) and the award of new PSCs in shallow- and deep-water to Murphy Oil and state-owned PETROCI. The government has embarked on several initiatives to boost upstream production and investment, positioning the country as a renewed hot frontier for oil & gas activity in West Africa.
