Also Energulf Resources scheint ja super Aussichten zu haben, trotzdem gibts da kleinigkeiten die mich stutzig machen und mich bisher von einem investment abgehalten haben:

Vanco Energy hat vor Energulf die Lizenzen fürs gleiche Gebiet schon erworben und seismische messungen durchgeführt. Hier die Pressemitteilung vom 16.4.2000 (!) von Vanco:

Vanco Awarded License Area 1711 Offshore Namibia

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 14, 2000--Vanco Energy Company, through its subsidiary Vanco International Ltd., has signed a Petroleum Agreement with the Government of Namibia for License Area 1711 offshore Namibia. This is the first license awarded since Namibia converted to an Open Bidding System last year, and is the only License in offshore Namibia except Kudu in the southern part.

The License covers 8,931 square kilometers (2.207 million acres), and is situated in the Namibe Basin off the northern coast of Namibia on the international boundary with Angola. Although some of License Area 1711 lies onshore, the primary area of interest lies offshore in water deeper than 200 meters (see attached map).

Early seismic covering the northern sector of the block shows at least one huge structure, probably Cretaceous in age. Vanco intends to acquire more 2D and 3D seismic during the initial two-year period, and has the option to pursue an exploration period consisting of 2D and one well in the second two-year period.

"License Area 1711 has many of the geological characteristics of the deepwater basins in neighboring Angola which have produced a number of major discoveries," says Vanco`s President Gene Van Dyke.

Interest in License Area 1711 is shared by Vanco (88%), The National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (Namcor) (9%), and Pamue Investment Corporation (3%), with Vanco being the operator.

The License Area 1711 award ties into Namibia`s and Angola`s mutual interest in the Namibe Basin, which extends into Angola, and which has never been tested on either side of the border. Namcor and Sonangol, the national oil company of Angola, are conducting a joint study to develop common plays for future exploration. When completed, results of the study will be jointly presented to the international oil community.

As Operator, Vanco will establish an office in Windhoek, headed by Klaus Endresen. Vanco is a U.S.-based independent with activity offshore the Netherlands and West Africa. The company ranks as the leading deepwater acreage holder in West Africa with licenses in Gabon, Morocco, Cote d`Ivoire, Senegal and Equatorial Guinea. Namibia`s License Area 1711 brings the company`s net acreage holdings to 20 million acres.

Vanco plans to conduct a regional 3-D seismic program later this year on all of its licenses where it operates, including Namibia`s License Area 1711.

March 9, 2005 - ENERGULF ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO OIL & GAS BLOCK OFFSHORE IN WEST AFRICA (Houston) EnerGulf Resources Inc. is pleased to announce it has entered into a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) with National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR, the state petroleum company of Namibia, www.namcor.com.na), establishing a working relationship with regard to joint ventures in oil and gas exploration, development and production opportunities in Namibia, in particular Block 1711, and gas to liquids and related opportunities.

Under the terms of the MOC, NAMCOR has granted to EnerGulf an option for up to 25% of NAMCOR’s interest in Block 1711, offshore Namibia (EnerGulf’s option being a 25% working interest in the Exploration License that would be granted by the Minister of Mines and Energy). Block 1711 is situated in the Namibe Basin off the northern coast of Namibia along the international boundary with Angola.

Two separate exploration prospects have been identified by extensive seismic data on the 8,931 sq. km Block, being the Kunene and Hartmann prospects.

The Kunene Prospect, defined originally by 2D and recently confirmed by a 650 sq. km. 3D seismic program over the prospect, is a huge structure, probably Cretaceous in age and appears to be a carbonate buildup, sealed by a thick Tertiary shale sequence. The structure forms a four way dip closure covering 95 square km., with over 675 to 1,400 m. of vertical closure. Additionally, there are abundant direct hydrocarbon indicators associated with the Prospect. The resource potential has been assessed at up to 8 trillion cubic feet of gas (or 1.4 billion barrels of oil), with a mean value of 5 TCF/G (733 MMbbl/O).

The Hartmann Prospect, located in the southern part of the Block, has been identified by extensive 2D seismic and is interpreted as a large stratigraphic trap with an area of 343 sq. km and 1,600 m vertical relief. It appears to be a carbonate buildup with the same age of the Kunene carbonate buildup. Its assessed mean recoverable resource potential is estimated to be 2.2 Bbbl/O or 16.4 TCF/G.

Commenting for EnerGulf, Jeff Greenblum, Chairman of the Board, said: “We are looking forward to our new relationship with NAMCOR and the opportunity to develop this exciting Block in such a great country. We are pleased with the pace at which we are moving forward with our Pan-African business plan in building a strong portfolio of high impact exploration opportunities.”

Also commenting, Dr. Bill St. John, EnerGulf’s Senior Advisor for African Exploration, said: “Block 1711 contains the most attractive undrilled structure that I have seen in over 40 years of exploring for oil and gas internationally.”

Also:
1. Warum hat Vanco keine Pressemitteilung mehr zu diesem Block veröffentlicht und ihre Messungsresultate veröffentlicht und hat dann auch noch seine Lizenz klammheimlich wieder abgegeben, wenn die doch so riesige vorkommen erwartet haben? Und das ganze nach den genau geplanten 4 Jahren, die das Projekt dauerte?

2. Wären da die verantwortlichen von Vanco in diesem fall nicht saudumm auf so ein gigantisches feld bei solchen ölpreisen einfach auf die lizenz zu verzichten? Anscheinend haben die für die lizenz wenig, wenn überhaupt irgendetwas gekriegt, und das für ein Feld, das mehr als eine Milliarde wert sein soll?

[daphnee]

Diese Themen wurden bereits ausführlichst in einem der bereits existierenden Energulf-Threads diskutiert, dfür brauchen wir nicht extra einen neuen Thread

[fantabo]

Bin nicht ganz sicher!!
als ich auf der suche nach informationen durchs Netz
geflogen bin,hab ich irgendwo gelesen,daß einer der Führungsmanschaft(weiß nicht mehr wer),zu dieser Zeit
bei vanco gewesen ist.in ner führenden Position.
fand ich daher eher positiv,weil er die Untersuchungsergebnisse ja kennen mußte.
Wer weiß wie die heute verstrickt sind?!

[Spirou73]

Tja Daphnee. bloss dumm dass ich auf genau diese frage keine antwort gefunden habe....

[Spirou73]

Hallo Fantabo

Tönt gut.
Allerdings wie kommt Vanco einfach dazu die Lizenz abzugeben...? Bloss weil da ein paar leute in der Führungsmanschaft gearbeitet haben können die doch nicht die Lizenz in arsch gesteckt gekriegt haben....?

Gruss

[totti11]

da bin ich ja froh raus zu sein.
nur nach dem pusch ist sie gestiegen. seitdem tote hose.
alles nur ein fake??
der wert der firma soll mal 1 Mrd wert sein, aber bei 10 Mio. kauft keiner(z.B.instis)
nur die lemminge nach der empfehlung vor einiger zeit.
und nun warten alle auf den großen Ausbruch.
aber der wird wohl nicht kommen. alles nur verarsche?

[MikeSpezial]

seid ihr alle noch ganz dicht? den Thread unter Rojam reinzustellen.

[totti11]

wieso alle??
das hat wohl nur einer gemacht.

[MikeSpezial]

ja ok. Aber keiner hat`s gemerkt.

[meislo]

Da stimmt doch wirklich etwas nicht!:O

Das Hartmannprojekt wie ebenso das kuneneprojekt waren vormals auch ein vancoproperty

Search for Namibian petroleum continues
CHRISTOF MALETSKY

AMERICAN company, Vanco International, plans to start drilling in search for oil in its licence area 1711 in the Namibe Basin this year.

Vanco says in its latest publication about the company`s involvement in deepwater exploration in Africa that it plans to drill six exploration wells offshore Namibia, Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast and Morocco.

The company, in partnership with National Petroleum Corporation (Namcor) and empowerment group Pamue Investment, has completed the seismic work.

It said the Namibe Basin had no well history but contains interesting features that suggest the area has significant oil and gas potential.

Vanco said a study of the Kunene Prospect , a huge structural feature in the Namibe Basin, showed that the structure was a drowned carbonate buildup lying 2 000 metres below the ocean floor and sealed by a thick tertiary shale sequence in about 900 metres water depth.

The company said it had also started investigations to the Hartmann Prospect , which lies to the south of the Kunene Prospect.

It said the Hartmann Prospect appear to be a stratigraphically trapped carbonate buildup that should also be oil-prone.

Vanco President Gene Van Dyke said they believed so much in the potential of the licenses in Namibia, Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast and Morocco that they invested more than US$30 million last year.

He said studies indicated that Vanco has as much as eight billion barrels of oil under license in deepwater off the western coast of Africa.

Government awarded a petroleum exploration licence to a consortium led by Vanco International in 2000.

Vanco holds an 88 per cent stake in the consortium. Namcor has nine per cent and Pamue three per cent with Vanco being the operator.

The northern end of the 8 931 square kilometre concession forms the international boundary between Namibia and Angola.

Vanco`s petroleum exploration licence was the first to be awarded since Namibia converted to an Open Bidding System in 1999.

The area is said to have many of the geological characteristics of the deep-water basins in neighbouring Angola which have produced a number of major discoveries.

Vanco`s joint venture team in Houston has placed high priority on the promotion and further exploration of the licence area in the Namibe Basin.

The company has 26 million gross acres under licence in seven countries, making it the leading deep-water acreage holder offshore Africa.

@MikeSpezial

sorry, war ein versehen...
Sterben wird deswegen aber hoffentlich niemand, oder?

[daphnee]

die 500.000 Stücke, die jeden Tag hier gehandelt werden, alles nur Lemminge

[meislo]

Das ist keine antwort auf berechtigte zweifel?

Wieso gibt Vanco die lizenzen zurück wenn die projekte doch so aussichtsreich erscheinen??

Als investor würde ich dieser frage unbegingt nachgehen.

Morgen ergibt sich ja die möglichkeit bei diesem webauftritt.
