Qatar Petroleum (QP) has expanded its footprint in Africa, buying stakes in offshore blocks in Morocco and Mozambique from Italian oil major Eni. QP announced in March it was taking a 25.5% stake in offshore block A5A in Mozambique’s Angoche basin. The deal will leave Eni – the block’s operator – with a 34% interest in the concession. Other shareholders include state company Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos (ENH) with 15% and South Africa’s Sasol with 25.5%. QP already has a stake in the neighbouring block A5B.
