An announcement from Gran Tierra Energy ( (GTE) ) is now available.
Gran Tierra Energy has signed an onshore exploration, development and production sharing agreement for the Guba-Khazaryani region in Azerbaijan with state oil company SOCAR, marking its entry into a major, long-established hydrocarbon province. The deal gives Gran Tierra a 65% working interest and operatorship over roughly 0.4 million gross acres surrounding a prolific structure, significantly expanding its acreage base beyond Ecuador.
The agreement offers access to existing infrastructure and a large contiguous basin trend backed by legacy wells and seismic data, positioning the company to apply its technical expertise and pursue capital-efficient growth with strategic exposure to European energy markets. The EDPSA sets out a five-year exploration and appraisal period, followed by a 25-year development phase with potential extension, with initial gravity, seismic and drilling work to begin from 2026 and be funded from projected operating cash flow, underscoring a measured but material expansion of Gran Tierra’s operational and geographic footprint.
