  • Chevron holds a 45% working interest in the Nargis concession, alongside IEOC Production B.V., which also holds 45%, and Egypt's Tharwa Petroleum Company, which holds 10%.

  • The Nargis-2 well was drilled as part of the second exploration phase of the Nargis Offshore Concession, which required Chevron to drill one exploratory well
