  Agreement with a Floating Production System (FPS) owner to tie-back a small field with minimum capital investment and with payment to the owner solely based on production.

  Agreements to share the operatorship of licences in order to maximise the influence on progress.

  Re-negotiation of concession agreements in Tunisia and Oman to achieve economically attractive terms and allow operations to continue.
