Marathon Oil Signs Agreement with Africa Oil to Jointly Explore Blocks in Kenya
HOUSTON, July 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marathon Oil Corporation (NYSE: MRO) announced today that it has entered into a farmout agreement with Africa Oil Corp. to acquire a position in two onshore exploration blocks amounting to more than 11 million gross acres in northwest Kenya. The transaction includes a 50 percent working interest (WI) in Block 9 and a 15 percent WI in Block 12A. The companies expect to close the transaction, subject to completion of the necessary Kenyan government approvals, in the third quarter of 2012, with an effective date of June 30, 2012.
"With this transaction Marathon Oil gains entry into an emerging onshore oil play in Kenya that offers potential across a vast acreage position and fits with our liquids-rich strategic focus," said Annell R. Bay, Marathon Oil's vice president of Global Exploration.
Kenya's Block 9 is approximately 7.5 million gross acres (30,220 square kilometers) along a prospective Cretaceous Rift Trend. Africa Oil will operate the exploration phase, and Marathon Oil has the right to assume the role of operator if a commercial discovery is made.
Block 12A is approximately 3.8 million gross acres (15,389 square kilometers) and is contiguous with Block 10BB to the north, which contains the recently announced Ngamia-1 oil discovery. Tullow Oil is the operator of Block 12A with a 65 percent WI and Africa Oil retains a 20 percent WI.
The companies expect to drill an exploration well on Block 9 in the second quarter of 2013. On Block 12A, 2-D seismic acquisition is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2012.
In addition, Marathon Oil and Africa Oil have agreed to jointly pursue exploration activities on an additional exploration area in Ethiopia, subject to host country Government approvals.
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 joint venture expenditures in these blocks anticipated to be spent over the next three years up to a maximum of $43.5 million.
Marathon Oil Corporation is an independent international energy company. Based in Houston, Texas, Marathon Oil had net proved reserves at the end of 2011 of 1.8 billion barrels of oil equivalent in North America, Europe and Africa.

.
Was für ein Tag 
. In der Form hätte ihn wohl keiner gebraucht. Es fällt mir schwer das ganze Geschehen einigermaßen einzuordnen.
Für mich gibt es im groben drei Punkte:
I. HRN enttäuscht. Und das überwiegt für heute, leider. Es ist noch vieles einzuordnen, einiges ist für mich noch unstimmig. Politik, verbleibende Chancen, Fortbestehen in dieser Form über SN-1 hinaus,...
II. AOI
a) Hat mit Marathon Oil einen respektablen Partner für die Blöcke 9 und 12A in Kenya gewinnen können. Es kommen weitere 35Mio USD in die Kasse, darüber hinaus trägt Marathon Oil zusätzlich den auf AOI entfallenden Anteil neu entstehender Ausgaben bis zur Obergrenze von 43,5Mio USD. Scheinbar sollen weitere gemeinsame Explorationsmöglichkeiten in Äthiopien geprüft werden.
b) Verkauft weitere 25% an den Äthiopien Blöcken 7 und 8 an New Age (Africa Global Energy).
III. Auswirkungen für AOI
a) AOI-News:
- Net Resourcen verringern sich - Verwässerung; andererseits deutliche Abnahme der Kostentragungsverpflichtungen
- Verbesserte Finanzierungssituation auch innerhalb des Tullow-JV: Die hohe Explorationsgeschwindigkeit hat ihren Preis, ist jedoch gesichert
- Beschleunigung der Explorationstätigkeit in den Blöcken mit Marathon Oil (M.E. guter Zugang zu Rigs,...)
- Insgesamt: AOI macht Dampf.
b) HRN:
- Scheint kurzfristig nicht das erhoffte Finanzierungsvehikel zu werden, derzeitiger Wert nach dieser Information ist für einen Aussenstehenden wohl kaum einschätzbar
- "Positiv" verhält sich imho der AOI-Shareprize, der an einem ohnehin grauenvollen Tag keinen all zu großen Abschlag für die HRN-Anteile (am AOI-Kurs) vornimmt
- Lässt die an sich guten News von AOI verpuffen
IV. Fragen
Da ergeben sich viele.
Für mich interessant: Stehen die AOI-Farmouts in irgendeinem Zusammenhang mit den HRN-News? Konkret: Hat AOI die Anteile an HRN intern bereits "abgeschrieben" und kamen die Farmouts daher zu diesem Zeitpunkt zu stande?
Vielleicht gibt es Gedanken/Meinungen dazu, gerne auch Korrekturen.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 43.413.532 von gabbo62 am 23.07.12 12:01:04Not too bad 
35 million dollar in Cash und bis zu 43.5 million free carried die nächsten 3 Jahre für Block 9 (Kenya) (Africa Oil 50% Marathon Oil 50%) und Block 12A (Kenya) (Africa Oil 20% Marathon Oil 15% Tullow 65%)
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.
Vielleicht geht da bei Bogal-1 mal was weiter und Kinyonga prospect to spud in 2013 ist damit wohl free carried?! Wann beginnt eigentlich die Bohrung Twiga?

Schönes Wetter, dafür schlechte News
Frage an die Experten.
Wie groß ist denn jetzt überhaupt die Wahrscheinlichkeit
bei den restlichen 450m noch Öl zu finden?
Weil fertig gebohrt wird ja bis auf 2.400m
Meinungen?

... ich bin auch vollkommen sprachlos - offen gesagt etwas geschockt; mit einem solchen Ergebnis habe ich nicht gerechnet... brutaler Frust...
Offenbar war das Schweigen von EITS über das WE doch nicht nur reine Fürsorge...

Na, die Woche fängt ja toll an, wenigstens das Wetter stimmt. Irgendwie hatte ich mir die Geschichte anders vorgestellt und sag mal nichts.

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 in consideration of past costs. Following the completion of the New Age farmout transaction, the resulting interest in Blocks 7 & 8 will be as follows:
Blocks 7 & 8
Africa Oil 30%
New Age 40%
Afren plc 30%
The transfer of operatorship will occur upon completion of the acquisition of the Blocks 7 & 8 interest by New Age. This transaction is also subject to host government approvals, the waiver of preemption rights by Africa Oil’s partners and the satisfaction of any applicable regulatory requirements.
