Occidental Petroleum Corp. of Westwood and Abu Dhabi investment arm Mubadala Development Co. signed an interim agreement with Bahrain’s National Oil and Gas Authority to form a joint venture to increase production from the Bahrain oil field.
Spending on the project during the first five years may reach $1.5 billion, with oil production to rise to more than 100,000 barrels of oil a day and gas output to “significantly increase” above the current 1.5 billion cubic feet a day, Occidental and Mubadala said.
Occidental said the partners expected to sign a 20-year development and production-sharing agreement in April.
