The firm program for 2017 includes the drilling of two exploration wells, the first of which will be in Block V, followed by a well in Block IV. “We are delighted to have reached agreement with Bergen Global Opportunity Fund to provide between 20 million USD and 45 million USD of funding for Petro Matad.
