QatarEnergy farms into Shell block off Mauritania

Fossil Energy – Mauritania

QatarEnergy has entered into an agreement with Shell to acquire a 40% working interest in the C-10 block offshore Mauritania.

Following approval by the government of Mauritania, Shell will hold a 50% interest and remain as operator of the block while Société Mauritanienne des Hydrocarbures will hold a 10% interest.

In February 2023, Shell signed an amendment to its exploration and production contract for Block C-10, extending the exploration phase by six months. Shell is expected to drill an exploration well on C-10 this year.

Block C-10 covers a total area of approximately 11,500 square kilometers and is located around 50 kilometers off the coast of Mauritania in water depths of around 50 to 2,000 meters (164 to 6,562 ft).
