UK’s Kistos buys stakes in Oman blocks for $148m

Kistos, a London-listed energy company, has signed an agreement to acquire stakes in onshore blocks in Oman as part of its expansion in the Middle East.
The company will buy 5 percent in block 9 and 20 percent in blocks 3 and 4 from Mitsui E&P Middle East for $148 million.
The acquisition, which is subject to regulatory clearance, will be funded from existing cash reserves, Kistos said in a statement.
The assets are expected to add 25.6 million barrels of oil equivalent reserves and deliver additional estimated net production of between 9,000 and 10,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day this year.
Block 9, operated by Occidental Petroleum, covers two producing areas. Blocks 3 and 4, operated by CC Energy Development, include seven producing fields across 29,000 square kilometres in eastern Oman.
All three blocks operate under Oman’s Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement.
“Our entry into the Mena region is an important step forward to build a resilient, future-facing energy company,” said Andrew Austin, executive chairman.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned
The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin presented the network’s new roadmap, which includes its short-, medium-, and long-term goals, at the Developer Conference held in Japan today. Scalability, cross-layer compatibility, privacy, and security were the prominent topics in Buterin’s speech. Buterin stated that the short-term focus will be on increasing gas limits on the Ethereum mainnet (L1). He said that tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas price restructuring, and slot optimization will be used in this context. The goal is to maintain the network’s decentralization while increasing scalability. The medium-term goal is to enable trustless asset transfers between Layer-2 (L2) networks and achieve faster transaction finality. In this context, “Stage 2 Rollup” solutions, proof-of-conduct combinations, and optimizations for reading data from L1 are on the agenda. Furthermore, network optimizations such as shortening slot times, fast finality protocols, and erasure coding are planned to improve user experience and security. Buterin emphasized that privacy is a priority for both the short and medium term. Zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, anonymous pools, encrypted voting, and scrambling network solutions are highlighted to protect the privacy of users’ on-chain payments, voting, DeFi transactions, and account changes. Furthermore, secure execution environments, secret query techniques, and the ability to conceal fraudulent requests and data access patterns are also targeted when reading data from the chain. Buterin’s long-term vision highlights a minimalist, secure, and simple Ethereum. This roadmap includes resistance to the risks posed by quantum computers, securing the protocol with mathematical methods (formal verification), and transitioning to ideal cryptographic solutions. Buterin stated that these strategic steps will transform Ethereum into a more scalable, user-friendly, and secure infrastructure. With the strengthening of L2 networks, more users will be able to use Ethereum with less trust assumptions. The ultimate goal is for Ethereum to become a reliable foundational infrastructure for global…
