Qatar Petroleum has become operator of Idd El-Shargi North Dome and Idd El-Shargi South Dome oil fields offshore Qatar, replacing Occidental Petroleum of Qatar Ltd.
Oxy’s development and production sharing agreements for the fields expired Oct. 6.
Qatar Petroleum announced last year it would become operator of Idd El-Shargi North Dome field, discovered in 1960 about 85 km off Doha (OGJ Online, Oct. 15, 2018). The companies later agreed on transfer of the other field.
Oxy held 100% working interests. Its net shares of production last year were 50,000 boe/d from Idd El-Shargi North Dome and 5,000 boe/d from Idd El-Shargi South Dome.
