Following the completion of this transaction, Statoil and its partners in the Carcará North block, ExxonMobil and Galp, will now undertake two further transactions as previously announced on 27 October 2017.

Statoil will now divest a 3.5% interest in BM-S-8 to ExxonMobil and a 3% interest to Galp on terms equivalent to those of the QGEP transaction.

The closing of these further transactions is subject to certain conditions, including government approvals.
