Dr Duncan Clarke, Chairman & CEO, Global Pacific & Partners, says: “Eastern Africa holds great commercial promise and strategic potential, and while the area and its multiple basins are at an early stage of the exploration cycle, much success has been recorded in numerous spheres. Our focus is on the corporate players, private and state entities, which are shaping the fast-moving dynamics of one of the Continent’s rapidly growing oil, gas and energy markets”.

 

“Eastern Africa’s hydrocarbon game is on fire, with new leasing, acreage pick-up, farm-ins, oil and gas discoveries, and significant investment inflows”

 

Dr Clarke continues: “This Conference offers exceptionally rich content particularly around new ventures and exploration in frontier opportunities, shaping the region’s upstream and energy markets as well as related infrastructure – and most critically, unlocking the natural resource base, economic potential and future of the region.”

 

The 3rd Eastern Africa Oil, Gas & Energy Week will showcase the regional oil, gas and energy game in over a dozen states: Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, DRC, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Eritrea, Somaliland, Seychelles, Madagascar and Mocambique.

 

This high-level Conference covers upstream, midstream, downstream and investments in gas and LNG, with leading Speakers drawn from major companies, independents, investors, Governments and National Oil Companies from across the region. Attending the event are senior executives from leading companies and state players from, and operating in, the region, and key government officials.

 

The Conference is endorsed by the Ministry of Energy, Kenya, the National Oil Corporation of Kenya and the Petroleum Institute of East Africa.

 

Keynote Government addresses include the following: Patrick Nyoike, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Energy, Kenya; The Hon Elizabeth James Bol, Ministry of Petroleum & Mines, Republic of South Sudan; as well as senior Government representatives from Mocambique, Uganda, DRC, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zambia, Eritrea and Somaliland.

looool.

 

Showing up to an oil conference and not having oil, yet another mugged Somaliland situation.

 

This is the saddest part:

 

Africa Oil Corporation and many other Independents active in Eastern Africa.

This company is giving a speech at the conference to announce their discovery in Puntland.

 

Khat people are going everywhere they have no business at.

Somaliland To Attend Oil Conference

 

Nairobi(Qarannews):- Somaliland will attend a conference on Oil exploration in East Africa to be held in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

 

The conference which is sponsored by the Kenyan Energy department will bring together representatives from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Seychelles, Madagascar and Mozambique.

 

According to The Reporter (Addis Ababa), the meeting will allow the participating nations to engage with investors, streamline contract negotiations and explore other areas of natural resources development.

 

At least thirty seven international companies are expected to send teams to the conference in order to present a thorough review of their technological and engineering experiences. These companies include, Total, Tullow Oil, ONGC, Anadarko, Cairn India, Afren, Sasol Petroleum International, Apache, Africa Oil Corporation, Lion Petroleum.

 

There has been extensive oil and natural gas surveys and exploration in Africa. Spearheaded mainly by China's need to supply its growing industrial sector and the discovery of Oil in Equatorial Guinea, Sao Tome and Principe, along with new surveys indicating a huge oil reserves off the Indian Ocean coast of Somalia, the oil and gas industry is focused on Africa.

 

The current political situation in the straits Hormuz and Iran's nuclear stance has added further urgency to the search for new sources of oil and natural gas.

 

Somaliland has recently conducted an extensive survey through NGS-TOPEC. The results of these surveys appear to be very promising. Meanwhile, in the self-administering region of Puntland, drilling for oil has already commenced in areas near the Indian Ocean.

waar xaji....i looked over the the website for african oil they are conducting an evaluation and clearly stated that they dont have the capacity to sell the oil or even build the infrastructure required to sell it..i.e. ports, roads, refineries. In effect what the pirates are currently doing is exactly what Somaliland did through NGS-TOPEC instead of using sitelights and technology to see whats in the ground they digging furthermore all the pirate claim to are two oil deposits one is in Somaliland territory and the other one is small and of very little significance so waa iska cadi....Somaliland has oil pirates, in its north and off its coast not to mention the one you claiming in Sool which is like you claiming las canod...i.e. irrelevant. but unlike you no need to talk about it as of yet...you can have your one oil basin..lets see how far you get with it and exploiting it...like i said you decades away....:cool:

Hydrocarbon plays:

 

The most compelling evidence that oil and gas accumulations may exist in Somaliland, as illustrated in Figs. 4-7,

include:

 

- Occurrence of oil seeps at Dagah Shabel.

 

- Very good oil shows from several zones in most of the wells

drilled including Dagah Shabel wells, Biyo Darer-1, Bandar

Harshau-1, and Dab Qua-1.

 

- Occurrence of mature oil-prone source beds with sufficient

levels of organic carbon, together with potential reservoir

rocks and structures in a variety of geological settings.

 

- A number of Jurassic rift basins as well as OligoceneMiocene sedimentary basins. These include Berbera/Guban

(conjugate of Balhaf basin, Yemen), Daban, Las Dureh,

Raguda, Al Mado (conjugate of the Masilah basin in

Yemen), and Nogal basins.

 

- Widespread and appreciable thickness of porous and

permeable reservoir rocks together with sealing rocks of

Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary in age.

 

- Evidence of structural growth during Jurassic, Cretaceous,

and Tertiary times, which resulted in the formation of

structural and stratigraphic traps

 

 

Conclusions"

 

The available well, seismic, and outcrop data show that the potential for commercial accumulations of hydrocarbons in Somaliland is good. These data show that the hydrocarbons may have accumulated in numerous large tilted fault-blocks and isolated sub-basins. Jurassic rift basins form the main exploration plays. Secondary exploration targets include Oligocene-Miocene rift sequence of the Gulf of Aden together with underlying pre-rift Eocene carbonates. Hence, favourable hydrocarbon plays could exist over many thousands of untested square kilometres along the entire north coast and south-east of the country at various drilling depths.
