The consortium of this block currently has Petrobras as the operator, holding a 50% stake, and Shell Deepwater Tanzania B.V., with the remaining 50%. After the farm-out completion, Petrobras will remain as the operator with 38%, Statoil will hold 12%, while the remaining 50% will be held by Shell.

This transaction is subject to approval by the Tanzanian authorities and will bring into the consortium a company that made significant gas discoveries in the country in 2012 and 2013.
