据OE网站11月18日报道，以非洲为重点的油气公司瓦可能源公司（Vaalco Energy）已经同意收购萨索尔（Sasol）Etame Marin区块27.8%的股权，并收购位于加蓬近海的DE-8区块40%的股权。
Vaalco表示，鉴于该公司已经拥有Etame 31.1%的开采权益，此次收购将使其总产量和储量几乎翻倍。通过这次收购，Vaalco在Etame的股份将上升到58.8%。Vaalco公司所在的Etame Marin区块迄今已生产了超过1.18亿桶原油。
除了Etame的交易，Vaalco正在收购萨索尔位于加蓬近海DE-8区块40%的非经营参与权益。Perenco作为运营商，持有剩余的60%。
DE-8区块位于浅水区，包括多个生产油田，但这些油田不在此次交易的范围内，且位于Vaalco正在收购的合同区域之外。
DE-8的交易包括2003年钻探的DE-8区块的Akoum-B发现，并计划于2021年钻探评价井。如果该评价井成功，则可以通过水下完井将其与DE-8区块的perenco运营的现有平台连接起来。
Vaalco将为整个交易支付4400万美元。 该交易包括未来最多600万美元的或有款项。
