Liberia: Bid round launched remotely

Liberia on 10 April launched a licensing round offering nine blocks in the unexplored Harper Basin off the country’s eastern coast. Would-be bidders have until 31 October to prequalify, then bids will be accepted until the 28 February closing date. “The Harper Basin offers significant exploration potential in one of the few remaining unexplored deep-water basins in West Africa. The initial interpretation of 2D and 3D seismic data identifies many leads and prospects across the entire basin,” President George Weah told the launch event, which was streamed online.
