Management and Advisory
Joint Oil has highlighted the exceptional potential of the Joint Oil Block and the Zarat Discovery, strategically positioned along the southern margin of the Pelagian Basin within the geological extension of the Sabratha–Gabes Basin. By partnering with Moyes, we are providing investors with a robust data framework and a clear commercial path toward developing these significant unitized resources.
The concession benefits from a highly strategic offshore location in proximity to several major producing fields across the Sabratha–Gabes Basin, including El Jurf, Bahr Essalam, and Bouri offshore Libya, as well as Hasdrubal, Ashtart, Didon, and Miskar offshore Tunisia. This positioning enhances the project’s long-term value proposition through access to established regional infrastructure, operational synergies, and export pathways.
Bordered by active Libyan exploration zones and major offshore concessions, the Joint Oil Block and Zarat discovery further underscore the substantial untapped hydrocarbon potential of the shared Tunisian-Libyan offshore basin, reinforcing its attractiveness as a high-impact exploration and development opportunity for investors and strategic partners.
