Qatar Petroleum (QP) has further expanded its involvement in deep-water exploration by securing a new deal with France's Total which will see the state-owned Qatari company enter two ultra-deepwater blocks off the coast of Namibia.
QP signed agreements with Total to earn a 30% interest in Block 2913B as well as a 28.33% stake in Block 2912, with an exploration well set be drilled on the former block in the first half of next year.
