Sanaa has prequalified almost all of the companies that bid for acreage in the country’s latest international licensing round.
Of the 30 bids received, the ministry has retained 25 bids for 11 offshore blocks, according to a statement from the Oil Ministry.
The selected companies include the US’ Exxon Mobil, Norwegian state oil company Statoil, Spain’s Repsol and Total of France. Licence awards will be announced on 30 July.
