On 10 October 2017, several sources reported that the State Oil Company Canada LTD (State) signed a MOU with the Sudanese company Sudapet to farm-in the 50% of the latest interest in Block 25, Melut Basin.  Block 25 is currently operated by Sudapet with the 70% interest in partnership with Express Petroleum & Gas Company (15%) and Misana Energy Resources (15%). Sudapet was willing to farm out at least the 30% of its interest.  The block is located in the White Nile State along the border with South Sudan and covers an area of approximately 24,000 sq.km. It hosts the Rawat and Wateesh developing oil fields which will presumably start producing in early 2018 at a rate of approximately 4,000 to 7,000 bo/d, according to internal sources.  Once the agreements between State and Sudapet are signed for Block 25, the Canadian company will be immediately acquired by Stamper Oil and Gas, as reported on 10 October 2017 (see here for more information).
