“Africa Is The Undeniable Final Frontier For Oil” at https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/africa-undeniable-final-frontier-oil
“Africa Energy, a Canadian exploration company, said last week it expected to strike a lot of oil in an offshore block in South Africa with reserves that could exceed those of an earlier discovery made by Africa Energy and Total in the same block. Earlier this year, Africa Energy doubled its stake in the consortium exploring the block to 10 percent. Total is the operator. Africa Energy should announce the results of the drilling project by the end of next month.
The Luiperd prospect is the largest of five prospects in the offshore block 11B/12B in South African waters that have attracted explorers’ attention. Consortium members estimate the resources of Luiperd alone to be in excess of 500 million barrels.
What’s more important is that, according to Africa Energy, the Luiperd prospect offers as much as 80 percent of success—"unheard of in frontier exploration today," the company’s chief executive Garrett Sodden told an industry conference. The entire offshore block has potential reserves of several billion barrels.”
“South Africa, on the other hand, has delayed a new oil and gas exploration and production bill that was supposed to be passed this year, again because of the pandemic. Now, the deadline for the approval of the bill has been moved to the end of the third quarter of 2021.
Overall, however, the picture appears to be better in Africa’s frontier oil regions than in legacy producing parts of the world.”
