Israel’s NewMed Energy says it signed a deal with Morocco and Adarco Energy for offshore natural gas exploration and production in Morocco, Reuters reports.

NewMed and Adarco will each have a 37.5% stake in the Boujdour Atlantique license, NewMed says, while Morocco’s energy and mining ministry will hold the remaining 25%.

“For a long time now we have recognized a huge potential in Morocco for collaborations in both the natural gas and renewable energy sectors,” Reuters quotes NewMed CEO Yossi Abu as saying.
