Chariot Limited said it has signed a pipeline tie-in agreement securing access to the major Maghreb Europe Gas Pipeline in Morocco.
The GME pipeline, owned and operated by ONHYM, runs from eastern Morocco through to Tangiers in the north and subsequently across to Spain.
ONHYM is Chariot’s partner on the Lixus licence some 40 kilometres off the coast of Morocco, which contains the Anchois gas field.
This agreement will enable gas produced from Anchois to be transported via the GME to different potential off-takers.
In a statement, Pierre Raillard, head of gas at Chariot, said: This moves Chariot a step closer towards delivering the first gas from the Anchois gas field to potential customers using the GME pipeline. We are well placed to bring gas online as quickly as possible."
