Equatorial Guinea to launch new oil and gas bid round in January
Equatorial Guinea will launch a new oil and gas exploration bidding round early next year and may refuse extensions of existing licences to oil companies unless they collectively invest a minimum of $2 billion (1.6 billion pounds) in the country, the oil minister said on Thursday.
