The license details which runs until 2027 is in the company reports, which I believe they have fulfilled, are as follows:
"In the Initial Period the work programme comprises 250 kilometres
of 2D seismic reprocessing and AVO analysis and the drilling of one
well to a minimum depth of 2,000 metres. Desktop geological and
gas marketing studies will also be carried out. The Minimum
Exploration Commitment is US$3,458,000. "
Also worth remembering the tax in Morocco and bonuses
"The fiscal terms in Morocco are restricted to a 5% State royalty for
gas, applicable after the first 10.6 BCF of net production to the
operator, and corporation tax charged at 31%. However, there is a
10year “holiday” before corporation tax will be charged and any
unused tax losses can be offset against the tax due. There are no
signature bonuses but production bonuses in the form of cash
payments exist with a maximum oneoff payment of US$5,000,000
on production greater than 30,000 BOE/day. A discovery bonus of
US$1,000,000 is also payable. "
