RE: ONHYM is hiring - 30 new high level posts !!!15 Jul 2025 07:36
Good info and potential good news for Predator.
Playing Devil's Advocate, I'm asking myself what else could ONHYM be gearing up for? They seem to be leaning towards exploration and development with their new hirings. Perhaps they are planning to do a bit of exploring off their own back? They certainly wouldn't have any hold ups with administration, licenses and supply chain.
Alternatively, I am keeping my eye on the Tendara field in the East of Morocco. A press release shown on here earlier in the year showed Morocco investing in gas infrastructure and facilities across the country, as far as Tendara.
Tendara was operated by Sound Energy, who still have an interest. "The subsidiary of Sound Energy plc sold to Managem SA, previously named Sound Energy Morocco East Limited has formally changed its name to Mana Energy"
A press release from Managem in June 24 states:
"The gas development plan for the Tendrara project is structured in two phases:
Phase 1: Currently under construction, this phase aims to produce 100 million cubic meters per
year of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) from mid-2025. It involves setting up a processing,
liquefaction, and gas storage facility to serve the needs of national manufacturers.
Phase 2: Currently under feasibility study, this phase plans for the construction of a processing
facility and a pipeline that will connect to the Maghreb-Europe Gas Pipeline (GME). The goal is to
supply 280 million cubic meters of natural gas per year, thereby enhancing the Kingdom's gas
supply.
Press Release
The terms of the agreement provide for an amount of approximately US$12 million (approximately
MAD119 million), payable upon completion, in addition to funding of up to US$24.5 million
(approximately MAD244 million) of Sound Energy's share of financing in the implementation of Phase 2
of the project.
The overall agreement is subject to the fulfilment of specific Conditions Precedents, which include
obtaining necessary regulatory approvals.
With this acquisition, Managem expands its activities into the upstream exploitation of natural gas in
Morocco and reaffirms its ambition to become a regional player in the development and exploitation of
natural resources with low carbon emissions.
Located in the Eastern Province of Morocco, the gas assets portfolio covers an area of approximately
23,000 km². The Tendrara concession includes a 133.5 km² operating licence, granted for a period of 25
years from 2018, with estimated reserves of 10.67 billion cubic meters of natural gas.
Upon completion of the transaction, the Tendrara project will be 55% owned by the Managem Group,
20% by Sound Energy Meridja Ltd, and 25% by ONHYM."
Also in recent news was the collaboration between Morocco and Nigeria over gas supplies.
I'm just thinking that Predator aren't the only consideration for ONHYM at the moment, but I do expect positive developments in the coming months.
