MARKET REPORT: Brokers won't be out of Africa

By Geoff Foster

Broker Citigroup has in the past forecast that East Africa could become one of the largest exploration plays in the next decade.

All of the major oil and liquefied natural gas groups are apparently champing at the bit to acquire strategic entry in the region. Not a lot has happened in the sector, but whispers yesterday suggested all is about to change.

Indeed, shareholders of Africa-focused Afren, 1.8p easier at 104.8p, could soon strike it lucky because rumours were rife that ENI, Italy’s multi-national oil and gas company, and Exxon Mobil, the world’s largest energy company, are both running the slide rule over the firm. Either one could launch a bid in the region of £2.15bn cash or £2-plus a share.
A computerised display of the FTSE 100 index

Malcolm Graham-Wood, oil guru at VSA Capital, is a big fan of Afren. He says it has a good mix of production and exploration and its geographical footprint now ranges from its Nigeria roots across Ghana and into Kurdistan. The company offers exposure to some of the most exciting prospective areas in the world. Afren has much to offer.

Profit-taking in the absence – surprise, surprise – of the rumoured takeover bid left Cameroon-focused oil and gas producer Bowleven 8.25p or 11.7 per cent lower at 62.5p.

Still fretting about Friday’s lacklustre US employment figures, and fearing the eurozone crisis will flare up as Spanish bond yields traded above 7 per cent again, the fragile Footsie fell away to finish 35.3 points down at 5,627.33, while the FTSE 250 dipped 87.3 points to 10,983.34.

Wall Street ended nearly 40 points down on renewed eurozone worries, although dealers in New York were delighted to see Wellpoint bid $4.46bn for health insurer AmeriGroup.

FACTBOX-Key political risks to watch in Uganda

By Elias Biryabarema
KAMPALA, July 10 (Reuters) - Uganda's opposition plans to
resume anti-government protests this month, despite a government
ban on political pressure group Activists 4 Change (A4C), which
has championed the demonstrations along with opposition leader
Kizza Besigye.

PROTESTS
Besigye wants to use long-standing grievances on corruption,
rights abuses and past accusations of rigged elections to
galvanise his supporters to repeat last year's street protests.
A three-time presidential candidate, Besigye wants to use
the protests to topple his veteran rival, President Yoweri
Museveni, who Besigye says rigged elections.
Although the issue of high costs of living, which sparked
last year's "walk to work" movement, has somewhat waned in its
ability to drive mass anger, analysts say grievances over poor
public services, entrenched corruption and rights abuses could
help strengthen the resolve of opposition supporters to stage
new protests.
A government crackdown on last year's protests left at least
nine people dead and Besigye, who heads Uganda's biggest
opposition party, Forum for Democratic Change (FDC), was at one
time pepper-sprayed in the eyes and briefly left half blind.

What to watch:
- Besigye. Can he manage to whip up anti-government sentiment
again and send his supporters to the streets after months of
quiet?
- Security response. If the police use disproportionate force
in quelling the unrest, it might provoke public outrage and wide
sympathy for the protesters.

ANTI-GAY LEGISLATION
A bill calling for harsh penalties against homosexuals has
been reintroduced in parliament by a legislator from the ruling
NRM party. [ID:nL5E8DA2KD]
Its previous version had called for the death penalty for
repeat offenders, though the new version is expected to drop
this clause as well as calls for life imprisonment.
What to watch:
-If any draconian anti-gay legislation is passed, it could
prompt some international donors to cut aid, which accounts for
a quarter of this financial year's budget. [ID:nL5E8D765J]

OIL, TAX DISPUTES
Uganda's plans to become a top-50 oil producer are back on
track after British oil explorer Tullow Oil <TLW.L> signed a
partnership deal in February with China's CNOOC <0883.HK> and
France's Total <TOTF.PA> to develop its oil resources.
Together with the two partners, Tullow hopes to spend more
than $750 million on exploration and drilling this year.
The money is part of a $10 billion investment that the three
companies plan over the next few years to put in place key
infrastructure like a refinery to start commercial production.
The government is awaiting passage of three pieces of
proposed legislation aimed at regulating the nascent oil sector
before it starts issuing new exploration licences.
What to watch:
- Delays. As oil firms embark on the development phase,
disagreements with the government over policy issues are likely
to emerge, which could push back the start of crude production.
- Tax disputes. If tax issues are not solved quickly and
amicably, Uganda may gain a reputation as a risky bet for
foreign investors.
- Start of oil production. Oil revenues will help the
government stem protests by escalating public spending.

INTERNATIONAL TENSIONS
Uganda has said it would back its northern neighbour South
Sudan if it got sucked into a war with its long-time foe Sudan.
A war in South Sudan, one of landlocked Uganda's most
lucrative export markets, could hurt many exporters.
Elsewhere in the region, Somalia's al Shabaab Islamist
rebels have threatened more attacks similar to twin suicide
bombings in Kampala that killed 79 people in July 2010. The
insurgents have vowed to target Uganda and Burundi until they
withdraw their peace keeping troops from Somalia.
What to watch:
- International diplomatic efforts to end the disputes
between Sudan and South Sudan.
- Progress in the African Union-led offensive against al
Shabaab.
- Another attack in Uganda could deter foreign investment
inflows, weaken the shilling, disrupt business and hurt tourism.

As you say, rather opaque but I suspect they are not short of funds.

As for the 7% finders fee and warrants. You have to consider that acquiring funding during these testing times can be very challenging and those needing the funds are not in the position to call the shots.

Taipan needed the funds to finance its exploration program on Block 1 and Block 2B, pay an Extension Minimum Work Commitment Fee in return for a twelve month extension of the exploration period on Block 2B and for general working capital purposes.

I dont think they are in a position to sit around until the next funding offer comes along and if I would have been in their position I know fine well what I would have done.

I consider the term to be reasonable and I can give you some very recent examples of funding at the same rate within the same O&G industry with the first being concluded late last week involving Sunridge Energy Corp -

Lure of money takes oil discovery to unexpected places

Stanley Reed,July 9,2012 The New York Times

No commercially exploitable oil had been discovered in Kenya until Tullow Oil began drilling this year in the blazing savanna of the Rift Valley, about 250 miles northwest of Nairobi.

In May, the company said that its first well had produced promising results, finding more oil-bearing sands than wells drilled in the geologically similar Lake Albert region of Uganda, where Tullow discovered a 1.1 billion-barrel field in 2006.

If Kenya turns out to be another Uganda, Tullow will have been instrumental in opening up no fewer than four new oil basins in the last six years. Three, including the jumbo-size Jubilee field in the deep waters off Ghana, are in sub-Saharan Africa. The fourth, off French Guiana in South America, was the payoff of a bet that the same oil-bearing rocks found in West African waters would also be present off the coast of Latin America.

Is it luck?

“On their track record – you have to say it is really good,” said Neil Piggott, a veteran explorer, who now heads exploration in Brazil for BP.

Named for a small town outside Dublin, Tullow was founded in the mid-1980s by Aidan Heavey, an accountant for the Irish airline Aer Lingus. He was intrigued by the idea of working over small oil fields in Africa that the large companies had missed. He knew little about the industry, but a friend at the World Bank helped him gain access to some gas fields in Senegal.

Under Heavey, who remains chief executive, the London-based company has grown into an exploration juggernaut with operations in more than 20 countries, a stock market valuation of about $22 billion and an exploration force of some 200 geologists and geophysicists. Tullow plans to spend $1 billion this year on exploration and appraisal, nearly as much as its 2011 operating profit of $1.1 billion.

Despite Heavey’s early inexperience, his company has proved better than most of its larger rivals at making big discoveries. “It wasn’t me being a good geologist,” Heavey, 59, said in a telephone interview. “I did what I was good at and picked the best people.” The company’s output is growing fast, but remains small at 78,200 barrels a day of oil and oil equivalents for 2011.

Analysts place Tullow in the vanguard of a cutting-edge group of oil companies that also includes the US companies Anadarko Petroleum and Kosmos Energy. “The thing that is incredible about Tullow over any of the other companies is their consistent track record of going into frontier basins, where no one else has found anything, and turning that into hundreds of millions of barrels,” said Rob West, an analyst at Bernstein Research in London. “They are an absolutely top performer.”

Tullow strikes oil in about 70 per cent of its exploration and appraisal wells, about double the industry average, according to West. Tullow’s challenge is that as it grows bigger and tries to produce oil, not just find it, it will run into increasing problems and costs. For instance, the company has encountered delays and been hit with a $472 million tax bill in Uganda, which it is disputing. “They are trying to turn themselves into a Shell. It is difficult to do that successfully,” said Stuart Joyner, an analyst at Investec Securities in London.


The company’s exploration chief, Angus McCoss, who moved to Tullow from Royal Dutch Shell in 2006, said that Tullow ignored industry dogmas and did “its own thing”. The oil giant BP, for instance, decided not to participate in the early drilling in the deep waters off Ghana, because the type of geology there often leads to expensive dry holes, according to Piggott, the BP explorer. Kosmos and Tullow wound up finding Jubilee, one of Africa’s larger fields, in 2007.

McCoss says he believes the Jubilee field is part of a rich geological trend that stretches up the coast of West Africa and is also found across the Atlantic. According to this theory, lying under the waters off Latin America is a mirror image of the rich oil deposits off West Africa, left there when an ancient land mass called Pangaea split apart.

Late last year, McCoss tested his thinking when Tullow drilled a well off French Guiana. By then, Tullow had enough credibility to draw in two European majors, Shell and Total, to assume much of the estimated $250 million cost. In September, Tullow announced that it had found a large quantity of oil. McCoss says the field could be larger than Jubilee, with 1 billion barrels or more of recoverable oil.

This month, Tullow announced a discovery off Ivory Coast, buttressing McCoss’ theory. The Kenya discovery is a land-based application of McCoss’ approach of finding oil in one place and then looking for analogies. After raising cash from its Uganda find by selling two-thirds to Total and China National Offshore Oil Corp, or CNOOC, for $2.9 billion, Tullow went in search of similar rift valley plays in Kenya and Ethiopia. Taking advantage of the lack of interest in those countries, Tullow has been able to put together about 38,610 square miles of exploration territory, an area about the size of Indiana, for only about $23 million. There are risks, of course.

The company’s earnings and market valuation will very likely be tightly pegged to the price of oil, which has fallen sharply in recent months. Deepwater exploration wells can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and a run of bad luck could sour investors. In addition, as the company expands, new finds will have less impact.

Still, the industry is likely to keep pouring money into sub-Saharan Africa because it is less explored than other parts of the world and because of its proximity to China and other energy-hungry Asian economies. Explorers had strong years in the region in 2010 and 2011, finding the equivalent of more than 5 billion barrels of oil each year. This year already looks substantially better, with volumes approaching 10 billion barrels. “Africa is very much an important exploration province,” says Martin Kelly, chief sub-Saharan Africa analyst at the Edinburgh-based consulting firm Wood Mackenzie.

In a telephone interview, Leakey said that there were still scars remaining on the landscape from Shell’s exploration activities years ago. But Tullow’s attitude has been different, he said, giving credit to Heavey. “He has shown to be a very decent person with a very good attitude toward the responsibilities an oil company might have to an area like this,” he said. Leakey said the local people were nomadic herders, and he feared that the central government would use the oil for its own purposes and just give the local people “sweets and little gestures”. For his part, Heavey said that his company was open to creative ways to share the wealth. For example, Tullow has listed its shares on the Ghana Stock Exchange. “We have to make sure we are transparent in what we do and make sure we do things properly,” Heavey said.

London to Play Host to East Africa’s Oil & Gas Decision Makers

Date: Thursday, July 12, 2012p






Already called Eastern El Dorado, East Africa is beginning to realise its energy potential and fast becoming a major energy hub with significant discoveries of gas and oil in Mozambique, Tanzania, South Sudan, Uganda and most recently Kenya.

CWC Group's East Africa Oil & Gas Conference in London, 1-3 October 2012 will host oil and gas decision makers from across the region to discuss East Africa’s growing hydrocarbon sector, investment opportunities and upcoming projects.

East Africa Oil & Gas is set to become the leading event for East African governments, national and international oil companies to announce their future plans, launch new projects and cement regional and international collaborations.

Exclusive declarations will be made by Ministers and senior representatives from across the region. Tanzania’s Minister for Energy & Minerals, Hon Sospeter Muhongo will deliver an update on Tanzanian gas opportunities in the rift basins of Lake Eyasi, Lake Manyara, Lake Natron, Selous, Kisangire, Mandawa as well as other deepwater opportunities.

H.E. Sinknesh Ejigu, Ethiopia’s Minister of Mines will address the growing potential of the East African region and the vast opportunities for regional and international investors.

Sumayya Athmani, Managing Director of National Oil Corporation, Kenya is to analyse the potential for onshore and deepwater opportunities, especially Block 14T as well as discuss the role of the Kenyan NOC in petroleum exploration and the new legislative outlook.

Ministers together with senior representatives from national oil companies and major industry players will discuss the role of East African countries as a future global energy player and the fact the region could become Australia’s greatest LNG competitor.

The event is supported by Ethiopia’s Ministry of Mines, Ministry for Energy & Minerals, Tanzania, National Oil Corporation, Kenya, Mozambique’s Petromoc and is expected to bring together more than 300 top executives, decision-makers and leaders in the field from countries around the region and internationally.

It will provide a great opportunity to network and participate in a variety of meetings and discussions regarding the region’s energy future and the continued development of hydrocarbons in the area.

Kenya to map out new oil blocks for auction

16 Jul 2012
Kenya plans to gazette and auction off new blocks for oil and gas exploration, an energy ministry official said on Monday, after finds earlier this year led to avid interest in previous auctions. Alfred Odawa, a consultant geologist at the Energy Ministry, said British explorer Tullow Oil and Anadarko Petroleum would surrender acreage in a total seven blocks in coming weeks as required in their production-sharing contracts with the government.

'They are surrendering their portion (of the blocks), and we'll use that to make blocks again,' Odawa told Reuters in an interview. 'From there it will be open and anybody can apply to take it ... We'll pick the highest bidder.' Tullow and partner Africa Oil first discovered oil deposits in the country's Turkana region in March. At present 45 of Kenya's existing 46 blocks are licensed, and the last is final stages of negotiation.

Odawa said Tullow Oil would give up a quarter of its territory in Block 10BB, where it made its March oil discovery, as well as a quarter of Block 13T. Both are onshore. Anadarko will surrender 25 percent of each of its five offshore blocks. Currently the companies are determining which quarter of their blocks they want to surrender. Odawa said they would decide by some point in September. Afterwards, the government will survey the land and determine how to use it to gazette new blocks.

'The companies are going to give up the part of the blocks that are the least valuable to them. Then we will survey and figure out what to do with (the acreage),' Odawa said. No companies have expressed interest in the surrendered territory, but Odawa said many companies were excited about exploring in Kenya. The relinquishments, which are required in the companies' production sharing contracts, give ministry officials more land to license to explorers who have been eager to lease Kenya's lucrative petroleum blocks.

Because the country is in the nascent stages of exploration, and discoveries are fairly uncertain, oil and gas blocks are large. But as part of signing a production-sharing contract, explorers must surrender a quarter of their blocks after two years if the block is onshore or three years if it is offshore. Presently, the only unlicensed block in Kenya is L26 in deepwater offshore. Odawa said a lease with Norwegian state oil company Statoil to explore the area is nearly sealed.

Kenya and its neighbours in east Africa, as well as the Horn of the continent, have become a hot spot for oil and gas exploration in recent years, spurred by new finds in countries including Uganda, Tanzania and Mozambique.

No this is not the case it is premature. However, relinquishment is the usual process in any licence agreement and when we do relinquish acreage it will simply be the non-prospective areas, we will retain the prospective acreage.

Regardless of the result of this test, the well will continue to drill to the base of the Jesomma sands to evaluate any additional lower Jesomma potential pay zones.

Yours faithfully

Shabeel update:

Mechanical issues have caused delays over the last two days. Two 9 5/8" packers failed to set but fortunately the third did - well done the logistics boys as normally a well would only carry two.

As of this morning the packer had set and jet pumping has begun to get the well to flow. It will take a day or two to see the results.

Fingers crossed...

The Star (Nairobi)
Kenya: Tullow Suspends Oil Search At Ngamia 1
BY SOLOMON KIRIMI, 17 JULY 2012
Comment
The second stage of oil search at the Ngamia-1 well in Turkana will remain suspended for an unknown period of time, as Tullow oil waits for its equipment to arrive.

Tullow Oil Kenya operations manager Hans Meijers said he is not sure when the appraisal works at the site may start. "I do not know when we will start the appraisal, but we are moving on with exploration in other drilling sites which might give us a better idea on what to expect in the block we have already found high prospects of presence of oil," said Meijers.

A Kenya Revenue Authority official said they have been fast tracking processes involved for clearance of Tullow's appraisal stage equipment which have been offloading at the port for the last three months. The appraisal works were expected to start a couple of months ago. Meijar said Tullow oil will start drilling exploratory oil well at its Twiga-1 site before the end of this year based on the 500 kilometres of 2D seismic data map showing 3 prospects and 3 leads in Block 13T. "There is no transport infrastructure in this area which makes it very difficult to operate, and we have to make roads for the 150 lorry loads of equipment haul," Said Meijars.

Initially Tullow was scheduled to drill its second well at Paipai site in block 10A before a change of mind midstream to move to Twiga-1 in block 13T adjacent to block 10BB where Ngamia-1 well is located. The Ngamia-1 exploration yielded 140 meters of net oil pay in multiple reservoir zones, before drilling was stopped at just over 2000 metres of the planned 2700 after encountering barren hard rocks.

The oil has similar properties to the light waxy crude discovered in Uganda by Tullow Oil. Meijers said aerial exploration in block 12B in the Lake Victoria Basin will begin in August. Tullow oil jointly holds the operating license for the block with Swala Energy, a company registered in British Virgin Islands one and a half year ago.

The issue has been resolved and therefore we are able to do a new run today. There is no certainty that there will not be new issues with this run but that is oil exploration - nobody is expecting any problems though.

I'm afraid I have no idea on the date of an RNS about the results but the test will have to be completed before anything is announced.



Hier wird also bald was kommen!

AFRICA OIL PROVIDES SHABEEL NORTH DRILLING UPDATE



July 23, 2012 (AOI–TSXV, AOI–NASDAQ OMX) … Africa Oil Corp. (“Africa Oil” or the “Company”) provides the following update on the Shabeel North well in Puntland, Somalia which is being drilled by operator Horn Petroleum Corp. (“Horn”). Africa Oil holds an approximate 45% equity interest in Horn.



An open hole Drill Stem Test (DST) was conducted over a 50 metre gross interval which contained several sands in the upper portion of the primary Jesomma Formation which had oil shows. The test recovered fresh water (1200 ppm Cl-) without any traces of oil. The current plan is to drill ahead to the originally planned depth of approximately 2400 metres which will penetrate the remaining section of Jesomma sands at which point the entire section will be evaluated by electrical logging to determine if further testing is warranted.





Africa Oil Corp. is a Canadian oil and gas company with assets in Kenya, Ethiopia and Mali as well as Puntland (Somalia) through its45% equity interest in Horn Petroleum Corporation. Africa Oil's East African holdings are in within a world-class exploration play fairway with a total gross land package in this prolific region in excess of 300,000 square kilometers. The East African Rift Basin system is one of the last of the great rift basins to be explored. New discoveries have been announced on all sides of Africa Oil's virtually unexplored land position including the major Albert Graben oil discovery in neighbouring Uganda. Similar to the Albert Graben play model, Africa Oil's concessions have older wells, a legacy database, and host numerous oil seeps indicating a proven petroleum system. Good quality existing seismic show robust leads and prospects throughout Africa Oil's project areas. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and on First North at NASDAQ OMX-Stockholm under the symbol "AOI".

AFRICA OIL SIGNS FARMOUT WITH MARATHON OIL

July 23, 2012 (AOI–TSXV, AOI–NASDAQ OMX) … Africa Oil Corp. (“Africa Oil” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has signed a definitive farmout agreement with Marathon Oil Corporation (“Marathon Oil”) whereby Marathon Oil will acquire the rights to obtain an interest in two of Africa Oil’s Kenyan exploration blocks.

Under the terms of the farmout agreement, Marathon Oil will acquire a 50% interest in Block 9 and a 15% interest in Block 12A, both in Kenya. Africa Oil will maintain operatorship in Block 9, but Marathon Oil has the right to assume operatorship if a commercial discovery is made. In addition, Africa Oil and Marathon Oil have agreed to jointly pursue exploration activities on an additional exploration area in Ethiopia. The above transactions are all subject to host country Government approvals.

The resulting interest in the Kenyan exploration blocks upon approvals and subsequent closing of the Marathon Oil farmout agreement, together with the completion of a separate farmout transaction with Tullow Oil plc (“Tullow”) (described below) will be as follows:

Block 9 (Kenya)
Africa Oil 50%
Marathon Oil 50%

Block 12A (Kenya)
Africa Oil 20%
Marathon Oil 15%
Tullow 65%

Net Working Interests are subject to backin rights or carried working interests, if any, of the respective governments or national oil companies of the host governments.

In consideration for the assignment of these interests, Marathon Oil will pay Africa Oil an entry payment of $35 million which includes prior expenditures, and has agreed to fund Africa Oil’s working interest share of future joint venture expenditures anticipated to be spent over the next three years up to a maximum of $43.5 million.

Keith Hill, Africa Oil’s President and CEO, stated, “We are very pleased to welcome Marathon Oil as a partner with their stature and long history of success in the oil and gas business. We look forward to working together to expand on the success we have had in our East Africa exploration program to date. The consideration to be received from Marathon Oil will allow us to both accelerate the exploration in the blocks that Marathon Oil is farming into as well as provide additional funding to the Company for the accelerated exploration program on the Tertiary rift trend being executed in partnership with Tullow Oil. East Africa is rapidly becoming the most prospective oil and gas province in the world and the large, strategic land portfolio we hold ensures we will be at the center of industry activity.”

Africa Oil is also pleased to announce the completion of an additional farmout transaction with Tullow. Under the Tullow farmout transaction, which has received Kenya government approval, Tullow paid Africa Oil $759,000 in consideration of past costs to acquire an additional 15% interest in Block 12A in Kenya. Tullow will also fund Africa Oil’s working interest share of costs related to the acquisition of 520 kilometers of 2D seismic until an expenditure cap of $3.1 million net to Africa Oil has been met, following which Africa Oil will be responsible for its working interest share of seismic acquisition costs. Tullow previously acquired a 50% interest in, and operatorship of, Block 12A in a transaction that was completed in February 2011.


Africa Oil also announces that it has entered into a definitive agreement with New Age (Africa Global Energy) Limited (“New Age”) whereby New Age will acquire an additional 25% interest in Africa Oil’s Blocks 7 & 8 in Ethiopia, together with operatorship of Blocks 7 & 8 and the Adigala Area. In consideration of the assignment of the interest New Age will pay to Africa Oil $1.5 million i

FoxDavies Daily Monitor - Range Resources, Red Emperor and Gulf Keystone Petroleum
Monday, July 23, 2012
Range Resources (RRL LN, 4.75p, ▼ 28.4%) & Red Emperor (RMP LN, 8.25p, ▼ 61.6%) The news that the mini well test has flowed water opposed to oil is certainly a disappointment, but not yet the killer that it sounds like it is; it must be remembered that the target horizons are significantly deeper and drilling will now continue to these deeper target horizons. So, while this news is disappointing, it is not yet a "kill" for the exploration well. We are still maintaining our BUY recommendations on the stocks - especially given the prospective "appraisal" CBM acreage in Georgia, and in respect of Range Resources its Trinidadian operations - and retain Target Prices of 27p for Range Resources and 65p for Red Emperor.

HORN PETROLEUM TO DEEPEN SHABEEL NORTH WELL



July 26, 2012 (AOI–TSXV, AOI–NASDAQ OMX) … Africa Oil Corp. (“Africa Oil” or the “Company”) would like to provide the following update on the Shabeel North well in Puntland, Somalia which is being drilled by Horn Petroleum Corp.(“Horn”), a company which Africa Oil holds an approximate 45% equity interest.



Further to the recent announcement on the testing of the upper Jesomma sand reservoir which yielded fresh water, the well continued drilling through the entire Jesomma reservoir section and had reached a depth of 2200 meters. The section contained several additional sands with oil and gas shows and a full set of electrical logs was run to determine if these sands contained potential oil zones which would warrant further testing. The analysis of these logs indicate that the most prospective looking zone in the well was the upper Jesomma sand interval that had already been confirmed by testing to contain fresh water and thus no further testing could be justified.



Based on the positive evidence of oil shows and the presence of good quality reservoir in the Jesomma, the partnership has decided to deepen the well in order to evaluate the potential of the Lower Cretaceous and Jurassic sections. The current revised total depth will be approximately 3400 meters and is expected to take an additional 15 to 20 days to reach that depth. The Jurassic section in the nearby Shabeel well had thin reservoir sands with oil and gas shows, but this section was determined to be not thick enough to warrant testing. These sands are expected to thicken basinward towards Shabeel North. There was also evidence that there may have been faulting in the well which could have cut out a significant portion of the basal reservoir section, which is not expected in Shabeel North.



Horn President and CEO David Grellman stated, “While we are obviously disappointed that the Jesomma sands tested wet, the overall results of the two wells drilled during this campaign are quite encouraging in the long term prospects for oil potential of the basin. We have confirmed a working petroleum system, good quality reservoirs and thick impermeable sealing rocks. The two Jesomma structures drilled to date appear, subject to final petrophysical analysis, to have issues with the integrity of the trapping mechanism. We are still hopeful that the lower zones in the Shabeel North well may have favorable trapping geometries against the deeper thick carbonate and anhydrite sections seen in the original Shabeel well.”

Clinton’s East African Trip Focuses on Oil, Somalia,and SecurityBy Sarah McGregor - Aug 2, 2012 10:30 AM GMT+0200

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will encourage East African leaders this week to boost security and political stability in a region threatened by al- Qaeda and growing in importance as a source of energy.

Clinton is scheduled to arrive in Uganda today as part of an 11-day tour that began in Senegal on July 31. She will meet leaders from Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan and Somalia, countries essential to Washington’s strategy to fight Islamist militants and expand American economic interests.

“The dimension of security will be a central part of her visit,” Joseph Siegel, director of research at the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, said in a phone interview from Washington on July 31. “The U.S. shares an interest in bringing stability to Somalia -- that’s a key point of focus -- and reducing the threat that terrorism poses regionally and internationally.”

The Horn of Africa nation’s Western-backed transitional government and an African Union-led military force are battling the Islamist insurgent group, al-Shabaab, al-Qaeda’s franchise in Somalia. The country has been without an effective central government since 1991 and Islamist militants, pirates and criminal groups have made it a regional base of operations.

Securing Somalia
Al-Shabaab, which has been trying to rule Somalia by strict Islamic law since 2007, has lost ground as the AU and Ethiopian troops stepped up a multi-front offensive against them to pave the way for Somali President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed’sadministration to establish a permanent government.

“Somalia is the principal source of instability in the Horn of Africa and several East African states -- Uganda, Burundi, Kenya and Ethiopia -- have taken a lead in trying to stabilize the situation and have made more progress than we’ve seen in the last 20 years,” Siegel said. “Clinton will applaud that.”

The U.S. has killed al-Shabaab militants in special forces raids, offered $33 million in bounties for the capture of its leaders and supported the interim government, which yesterday passed a draft constitution despite suicide bombers’ attempts to blow up the venue where they met to vote.

In neighboring Kenya, Clinton and Ahmed will discuss a so- called political road map that includes a deadline to elect a new Somali parliament, speaker and president by Aug. 20. She will arrive on Aug. 4, according to the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi.

Oil Diplomacy
She is also expected to meet with Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki in Nairobi, the capital, to appeal for fair and peaceful elections set for March 2013. It will be the first poll since allegations of ballot fraud in a December 2007 vote set off two months of ethnic and political clashes that killed about 1,100 people and paralyzed East Africa’s largest economy.

East Africa is becoming a more favored destination for investment and a potential source of energy supplies for the U.S., Mwangi Kimenyi, director of the Africa Growth Initiative at the Brookings Institution, said by phone from Aspen, Colorado, on July 31. Uganda is expected to start pumping its first crude this year, while Kenya discovered oil for the first time in March.

“There is increasing commercial interest in East Africa from the U.S., which sees its national security interests tied to securing energy supplies,” Kimenyi said.

U.S. oil and gas companies are increasingly taking on acreage in East Africa. Houston-based Marathon Oil Corp. (MRO) paid $35 million to Africa Oil Corp. (AOI) for stakes in two Kenyan prospects last month, while Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC), also based in Houston, has made the decade’s biggest gas discovery off Mozambique and has rights to explore off Kenya’s coast.

Settling Sudan
In South Sudan, which marked a year of independence from Sudan on July 9, Clinton will meet President Salva Kiir tomorrow to discuss topics including “security, oil and citizenship,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said in a July 30 statement.

Hostilities escalated in April as troops from South Sudan occupied the Heglig oilfield which is claimed by both, driving the two countries to the edge of war. Even though South Sudan withdrew after 10 days, the United Nations Security Council threatened to impose sanctions if differences over oil transit fees, borders and security aren’t settled by today.

In Uganda, Clinton will urge President Yoweri Museveni to strengthen democracy and human rights, while acknowledging the country’s role in boosting security including trying to hunt down warlord Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army, Nuland said. Uganda was also the first country to offer troops for the AU force in Somalia, and the U.S. sponsored training and equipment. She’ll arrive today, James Mugume, permanent secretary at Uganda’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said by telephone from Kampala, the capital.

The U.S. last year deployed 100 soldiers to help Uganda and neighboring armies find the LRA fighters, who also roam across South Sudan, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Meeting Mandela
After a visit to Malawi and President Joyce Banda, Clinton will travel to sub-Saharan Africa’s largest economy where she will pay tribute to former South African president and anti- apartheid hero Nelson Mandela, who turned 94 on July 18.

“South Africa is a key player in terms of governance, economic and humanitarian interests, peace and security,” Anne Fruhauf, an Africa analyst with Eurasia Group in London, said in an e-mailed response to questions on July 31. “Its recent win of the African Union presidency only reinforces this.”
