APT

Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) and project operator ARA Petroleum Tanzania Ltd (APT) both hold pre-emption rights.

Scirocco added it maintained an active dialogue with APT on its intention to exercise its pre-emption right.

“We thank TPDC for their constructive engagement throughout the process and we look forward to making further progress towards completing the transaction as discussions with APT continue in a similarly constructive manner,” Scirocco chief executive Tom Reynolds.

In June, Scirocco agreed to sell its interest in Ruvuma to Wentworth Resources.
