I-PetroSeychelles, inkampani ye-oyile exhaswa ngurhulumente, ithe uthethathethwano ne-oyile minnow Sub Sahara Resources (SSR) kufuneka iqukunjelwe kungekudala, ngelixa inkqubo yocwangciso inokugqiba kwiminyaka emibini ezayo.
I-Seychelles inokukhawuleza ukukhawulezisa imvume yokuzingela ioyile emanzini ayo kwiziqithi ezikweleenjiko kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa, ivule indlela yokomba ngasekupheleni kweminyaka elishumi.
Umphathi oyintloko uPatrick Joseph uthe: "Ukuba akukho miba mikhulu - endicinga ukuba ayizukubakho - kufuneka sigqibe uthethathethwano ingaphelanga inyanga enye."
Umnumzana uJoseph uthe iziqithi zinokubamba ukufunyanwa kweoyile “ekumgangatho wehlabathi” ngokusekwe kuvavanyo lwangaphambili lokomba. Lo mmandla wenze kuphela amaqula ovavanyo angaphambili amane, apho amathathu acebise “ogqwesileyo” oovimba be-hydrocarbon abakwikhulu leemitha ngaphantsi komphakamo wolwandle.
Kukamsinyane ukutsho ngokuthe ngqo ukuba oovimba banokuba nengeniso kangakanani na, kodwa kubunzulu bamanzi angekho nzulu inokuba lukhetho olunexabiso eliphantsi kubavelisi be-oyile abanethemba, utshilo.
I-PetroSeychelles yaqala uthethathethwano olusesikweni kunye ne-SSR ngaphantsi kweeveki ezimbini ezidlulileyo ngenjongo yokuphelisa iminyaka embalwa enzima kwiqela, esele ilahlekelwe ngumtya wamaqabane anokubakho.
Isiqithi sesiqithi esitshisayo yayiyeyona nto iphambili ekugxilwe kuyo yinkampani yeoli e-Afren ngaphambi kokuba iphume kwi-stock exchange yaseLondon emva kokusilela. ukungena kulawulo ngo-2015.
I-Ophir Energy kunye neqabane layo i-WHL Energy, ifemu yase-Australia, bobabini barhoxa ekuzingeleni i-oyile emva kokungquzulana kwangaphakathi phakathi kwesi sibini kubangele ukuba isivumelwano siwe. Iqela le-oyile yelizwe laseJapan kunye nezimbiwa, elaziwa njengeJogmec, likwaqondwa ukuba liye larhoxa ngenxa yexabiso le-oyile elisezantsi kunoko belilindelwe.
I-PetroSeychelles ikholelwa ukuba i-SSR inokuwukhawulezisa umsebenzi wayo wophando lwenyikima ngokwakha inkqubela phambili eyenziwe lubambiswano lwangaphambili, olungaphumelelanga. I-SSR ebanjwe ngasese isekelwe e-Australia.
Nangona kunjalo ukhuseleko lokusingqongileyo kwiziqithi zaselwandle ezizintlobo-ntlobo zezinto eziphilayo zisengaphazamisi izicwangciso zemveliso ye-oyile yokuqala yorhwebo yesizwe saManyano, nto leyo abakhankasi boyika ukuba inokwenzakalisa ishishini labo lokhenketho elibalulekileyo.
IPetroSeychelles ixoxa norhulumente malunga nendlela aceba ukuyilawula ngayo imimandla yayo yolondolozo, kodwa ithi akucaci ncam ukuba izicwangciso zolawulo lwendalo esingqongileyo zizakuthi zivele njani kule minyaka izayo, nto leyo enokuba ngumcelimngeni omkhulu kubatyali-zimali.
“Into ebonisa ukuba siyinikiwe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kukuba izicwangciso zolawulo ziya kuba zintlobo zezicwangciso esele sinazo. Kodwa kufuneka sibone ukuba ibhaliwe, ”utshilo uMnumzana Joseph.
