Liberia Offshore License Round 2020 is Underway!
The Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority has announced the launch of its next offshore licensing round, which commenced on the 10th April 2020 and will run up to February 28, 2021. The President of Liberia, in his launch address to over 64 representatives from international and regional oil companies, noted that ” the world is undergoing a tremendously turbulent time but with our resilience, tenacity and shared strength, we will defeat this deadly coronavirus. We cannot be discouraged and dismayed because of this scourge but must keep fostering the growth of our nations and business institutions. We will take all precautions and measures to mitigate the impact of the pandemic but must not stop or relinquish the desire to build a nation under a common purpose creating shared economic prosperity. With this vision, I officially launch the 2020 License Round.”
