On 18 February 2020, Genel Energy was awarded the Lagzira Offshore reconnaissance licence, located in the Tarfay Basin. The block is understood to be valid for a minimum one-year term, with activity to include G&G studies. There are no well commitments for the reconnaissance licences. The block is understood to be an effective re-award of the company's Sidi Moussa Offshore exploration permit (5,018 sq km) which was relinquished upon expiry on 16 February 2020. Sidi Moussa lay in WD between 40-1,500m. It was originally awarded to Island Oil & Gas with 50% equity in June 2009. Partners at the time were Serica (25%) and ONHYM (25%, carried). In 2010, Longreach Oil & Gas (now Wolverine) farmed-in, acquiring 10% equity from Island. In the same year San Leon acquired operatorship, through the acquisition of Island. In May 2013, Genel completed its US$ 51.3 million farm-in, acquiring 60% operated equity pro-rata from the existing partners. In 2014 the Sidi Moussa 1 (SM 1) NFW was drilled, reaching 2,825m TD (983m WD) in mid-October 2014. An unsuccessful test of fractured and brecciated Late Jurassic carbonates resulted in it being P&A with oil shows. In October 2015, Wolverine (as PetroMaroc) exited, assigning its equity to San Leon. Genel commenced a farm-out process in 2016, seeking partners to drill the Nour Deep well, which would target a 350 MMbo early Jurassic clastics prospect. Following a licence extension in Q4 2017, which saw the well commitment being replaced by the seismic campaign, partners San Leon (10%) and Serica (5%) also exited the permit. A 2,000 sq km 3D seismic survey was subsequently acquired between August-November 2018. Equity in Lagzira Offshore is understood to be split: Genel (75% +Op) and ONHYM (25%, carried).
