BP signed up to a 10% stake in Abu Dhabi’s 1.66mn b/d onshore Adco concession on 17 December. It ends a near two-year hiatus since Total secured a 10% stake in the concession in January 2015, with Japan’s Inpex (3%) and South Korea’s GS Energy (3%) signing up to smaller shares shortly after. The concession runs until 2054. State oil firm Adnoc confirms that it is still looking to fill the remaining 12% of the 40% planned IOC allocation.
