A successful international oil and gas explorer focused in Egypt and Yemen
TransGlobe Energy Corporation
Republic of Yemen
TransGlobe's international activities have their roots in Yemen where the Company entered into Block 32 and S-1 in 1996/97. Since then, TransGlobe has added working interest ranging from 13.8 percent to 33 percent in five Production Sharing Agreements in the country. TransGlobe does not operate its properties in Yemen but works together with experienced partners such as Occidental Petroleum and DNO ASA.
