- QatarEnergy agreed to acquire a 25% participating interest in Chevron's PEL82 offshore license in Namibia.
- Chevron will retain a 55% interest and remain operator after customary regulatory approvals.
- The license covers 11,444 square kilometers in water depths of 350 to 2,300 meters.
QatarEnergy has signed an agreement to acquire a 25% participating interest in an offshore exploration license held by a Chevron subsidiary in Namibia. The agreement, reported by Offshore Engineer on Monday, November 9, 2026, remains subject to customary regulatory approvals.
Chevron Keeps Operatorship
The deal covers Petroleum Exploration License 0082, or PEL82, comprising blocks 2112B and 2212A. Upon completion, Chevron will retain a 55% participating interest and continue as operator. Namcor E&P and Custos Energy will each hold 10%.
PEL82 spans 11,444 square kilometers offshore Namibia, with water depths ranging from 350 to 2,300 meters. The partners intend to advance exploration activities under the license, although the report does not provide a drilling schedule, resource estimate or financial terms for the transaction.
For Chevron, the agreement changes the ownership mix of an exploration asset without removing its operating role. QatarEnergy gains exposure to an African offshore license while Chevron retains majority control, leaving future exploration results and regulatory completion as the main developments for investors to monitor.
