Taipan Resources Inc. Comments on Sala-1 Discovery
Nairobi, Kenya - Taipan Resources Inc. (TSX-V: TPN / OTCQX: TAIPF) ("Taipan" or the "Company"), Comments On Africa Oil Corp's ("Africa Oil") Announcement of a Discovery in Sala-1 well.
On June 24, 2014, Africa Oil announced a gas discovery in the Sala-1 Well on Block 9, Kenya in which operator Africa Oil shares a 50% interest with its partner Marathon Oil.
The Sala-1 well is located approximately 60 kilometres from Taipan's Badada prospect, on Block 2B (Taipan: 30% working interest), which is expected to spud in late 2014 or early 2015. In its press release, Africa Oil reported that Sala-1 was drilled to a depth of 3,030 metres and encountered an upper gas-bearing interval where they tested dry gas at a maximum rate of six million cubic feet per day from a 25-metre net pay interval.
Paul Logan, Exploration Manager at Taipan, commented: "The announcement of a gas discovery with associated oil shows in Sala-1 has significantly de-risked the prospectively of the Anza Basin. Sala-1 is believed to have tested a Cretaceous rollover structure against the Lagh Bogal Fault in a similar position to the Badada prospect, but at a much deeper stratigraphic level. Badada-1 will test an as yet, undrilled thick Tertiary sequence of probable Miocene age, similar to that present in the Kingfisher Field in the Albert Basin of Uganda and the Tertiary discoveries of the Lokichar basin in Kenya. The anticipated 3,000 metres of Tertiary section is expected to contain both source and reservoir intervals. The presence of oil shows in Sala-1 suggests that an oil source could also be present in the Cretaceous section at Badada-1."

Kenya wants parliament to approve new energy law by October
26 Jun 2014
Kenya wants parliament to approve its revised petroleum law before October, its energy minister said on Wednesday, clearing a hurdle to opening up more blocks to explorers. Oil discoveries in Uganda and Kenya by Britain's Tullow Oil and gas found off Tanzania and Mozambique have turned east Africa into a frontier for hydrocarbon exploration. Kenya aims to start production in 2016, with Uganda following in 2017.
Kenya said in January it would delay a licensing round for new exploration blocks until the law was ready. The law, updating a 1986 code, would list new guidelines on natural gas exploitation not adequately covered now, allow for the creation of a sovereign wealth fund to save some revenue and specify how local communities will benefit.
Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroloum Davis Chirchir told a conference his ministry had set itself a timeline to have the law in parliament by August or September, with the aim of having legislators approve it by October. 'The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum is at an advanced stage of review of the policy, legal and regulatory framework, to realise this constitutional requirement within that timeframe,' he said. The date has been slipping. An official said earlier this month that the law would be sent to parliament in July or August.
Chirchir told reporters that timelines had changed to ensure relevant parties had as much input as possible. Chirchir said the country had 15 new blocks it was ready to open, and rising interest from explorers had sparked a debate about whether they could be offered under the old law.

Kenya’s Block 9 gas discovery over 1Tcf
— June 25, 2014 by Samuel Kamau M.
The recent gas discoveries in the sala prospect were over 1Tcf according to the cabinet secretary for energy Davis chirchir.
“This is a very significant discovery being the first offshore and we can speak of above a Tcf,” said Chirchir.
The new discovery is thus the single largest gas discovery in onshore Kenya to date with Africa oil and Marathon Oil indicating that the upper gas bearing interval tested dry gas at a maximum rate of 6 mmcf/d from a 25 meter net pay interval.
The interval also had net reservoir sand of over 125 meters and encountered a gas water contact so there is potential to drill up-dip on the structure where this entire interval will be above the gas-water contact.A lower interval tested at low rates of dry gas from a 50m potential net pay interval which can also be accessed at the up-dip location.
The companies also revealed that there were oil shows while drilling and small amounts of oil were recovered during drilling and testing which indicates there may be potential for oil down-dip on the structure.
Apart from Block 9 gas has also been discovered in Block 10BB and offshore in block L10Ain the sunbird-1 prospect by BG Group and Pancontinental oil and gas.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 47.199.482 von texas2 am 24.06.14 12:55:24Interessant finde ich auch wie in Kanada der Kurs rauf, runter, rauf in den vergangenen 2 Tagen vor dieser Veröffentlichung gelaufen ist.
Trading Spotlight
Die rund 170.000 m³/d Testrate mit Gas sind kein Kracher aber weiter ausbaubar, also ein wenig besser als durchwachsen. Denke dieses Ergebnis hilft die gegenwärtige Bewertung zu konsolidieren und wir müssen weiter warten ...
PS: wenn es wet gas gewesen wäre, wäre wahrscheinlich die gemessene Temperatur höher gewesen. Schade dass AOI keine Gasanalyse mitgeliefert hat.

Africa Oil Announces New Gas Discovery at Sala Prospect in Block 9 in Kenya
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 24, 2014) - Africa Oil Corp. (TSX:AOI)(OMX:AOI) ("Africa Oil" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has made a gas discovery in Block 9 onshore Kenya. The Sala-1 drilled a large 80 square kilometer anticlinal feature along the northern basin bounding fault in the Cretaceous Anza graben and encountered several sandstone intervals which had oil and gas shows. The well was drilled to a total depth of 3030 meters and petrophysical analysis indicated three zones of interest over a 1000 meter gross interval which were subsequently drill stem tested. An upper gas bearing interval tested dry gas at a maximum rate of 6 mmcf/d from a 25 meter net pay interval. The interval had net reservoir sand of over 125 meters and encountered a gas water contact so there is potential to drill up-dip on the structure where this entire interval will be above the gas-water contact. A lower interval tested at low rates of dry gas from a 50m potential net pay interval which can also be accessed at the up-dip location. It should also be noted that there were oil shows while drilling and small amounts of oil were recovered during drilling and testing which indicates there may be potential for oil down-dip on the structure. Africa Oil is the Operator of Block 9 with a 50% working interest. Marathon Oil Kenya Limited B.V. has the remaining 50% interest.
An appraisal plan to follow up this discovery is currently being evaluated by the partnership in consultation with the Kenyan government. Plans being discussed include an up-dip location to confirm the areal extent of the gas zones tested where the full net sand interval can be intersected above the gas-water contact. The partnership is also considering a down-dip appraisal location to test an on-lapping stratigraphic wedge on the flanks of the structure which is of the same age as the zones in the nearby Ndovu-1 well which had oil and gas shows.
In addition, the Company is considering drilling an appraisal well on the crest of the large Bogal structure to confirm this large potential gas discovery which has closure over an area of up to 200 square kilometers. The gross best estimate of prospective resources for Bogal are 1.8 trillion cubic feet of gas based on a third-party independent resource assessment. The Company currently has two optional slots on the Great Wall drilling rig used to drill the Sala-1 well that are available for this appraisal program.
The Company believes there is a very strong market for gas development in Kenya and have already engaged in discussions with power companies and the government to potentially fast track a gas to power project that could add significant value and create benefits for the people of Kenya. In 2013 the Government of Kenya launched its "+5000 MW by 2016 - Power to transform Kenya" initiative with ambitious plans to increase Kenya's power generating capacity by 5,000 Mega Watts in 40 months. This plan includes significant generating capacity fuelled by imported LNG and coal which are currently being bid. The discovery of indigenous gas in significant quantities in Block 9 has the potential to offer a far more cost effective fuel source for these power projects that will also provide positive environmental and local development benefits. Significant interest exists with development agencies and commercial independent power producers to partner on power developments in Kenya.
Africa Oil CEO Keith Hill stated, "We are very excited about the opening a new basin and the possibilities of bringing significant value to the Company by our Block 9 discovery. Not only is there a great need for power in Kenya, there is also the potential for downdip oil and for additional prospects on trend. We have a number of leads along this basin bounding fault and additional seismic data is being considered. We continue to have a very active exploration and appraisal program in both Kenya and Ethiopia and have made significant progress in moving the South Turkana pipeline and development program forward in cooperation with the Kenyan government."
The Company is also pleased to update additional exploration and appraisal activities in Kenya and Ethiopia.
In Kenya, the Company has 4 additional rigs active in the South Turkana Basin where oil discoveries have previously been announced at Ngamia, Twiga, Agete, Amosing, Ekales, Etuko and Ewoi.
The PR Marriott 46 rig has recently completed the Ngamia-2 well which was drilled 1.7 km from the Ngamia-1 discovery well to test the northwest flank of the prospect. The well encountered up to 39 meters of net oil pay and 11 meters of net gas pay and appears to have identified a new fault block trap north of the main Ngamia accumulation. The reservoirs were high quality with more than 200 meters of net reservoir sands with good permeability inferred from MDT sampling. The well has been suspended for testing and the rig will continue to drill up to 4 additional appraisal wells in the Ngamia field area for an extended well test program. A 3D seismic program is currently being concluded over the field area which should allow for detailed mapping of the fault trends.
The SMP-5 rig has completed testing operations on the Agete-1 well where it confirmed the Auwerwer pay previously released, the well flow rate was tested at 500 barrels of oil per day. This rig is now currently on location at the Ewoi-1 discovery and is preparing to test, after which it will continue to be used to test discovery and appraisal wells in this basin.
The Weatherford 804 rig is currently drilling the Agete-2 downdip appraisal well and will then move to drill the Etom prospect located 7 kilometers north of the Agete discovery along the basin bounding 'string of pearls' trend.
The Sakson PR-5 rig is drilling ahead on the Amosing-2 downdip appraisal well, with a planned sidetrack, and will then move to drill the Kodos and Epir (formerly Aze) prospects, which will be the first exploratory wells to test the Kerio Basin, located immediately adjacent to the prolific S. Lokichar basin.
Finally, the Exalo 205 rig is drilling ahead on the Gardim prospect, located in the Chew Bahir basin in the South Omo block in Ethiopia. The partnership is in discussions on the next prospect to be considered for drilling in this block.

Hallo allerseits, vielen Dank für die zusammengetragenen Berichte und auch die darauf gerichteten Diskussionen der letzten Wochen, sehr interessante Gedanken. Komme derzeit leider nicht regelmäßig zum Schreiben, wird sich hoffentlich in ein paar Wochen wieder bessern.
Habe auf der Homepage gerade folgendes entdeckt:
"Africa Oil Statement on Ethiopia"
http://www.africaoilcorp.com/i/pdf/reports/Africa-Oil-Statem…
von K.H. zu Anschuldigungen gegenüber AOI in Bezug auf die Blöcke 7/8. Ist da derzeit irgendwo etwas zu vernehmen? Wenn die PDF-Daten stimmen, dann wurde das Statement am 09.06.'14 von Alex Budden erstellt. Ich dachte das Thema sei ein "alter Hut" (mit dem gebotenem Respekt), scheinbar köchelt es aber in den Medien weiter...
Happy weekend allen, wenn es dann soweit ist

Ja das stimmt, Vulkanismus kann eine Rolle bei der Maturität von Muttergesteinen spielen, vor allem wegen der zusätzlichen Wärmequellen, aber eher wenn das Becken schon tiefer ist. Langsam mach ich mir wegen unserer AOI ein wenig Sorgen, eine News release wäre langsam fällig.
