Ivory Coast says it has awarded partners BP and Kosmos Energy five new offshore oil blocks under an agreement with state oil company Petroci, government spokesman Bruno Kone said on Wednesday.
Petroci will maintain a 10% stake in blocks CI-526, CI-602, CI-603, CI-707 and CI-708. Kone did not give a breakdown of Kosmos' and BP's stakes.
Neither BP nor Kosmos had an immediate comment when contacted by Upstream.
