Greater Tilapia ?4 Jun 2019 13:13
Greetings
I bought Aaog around 7p back in 2018. The delays and recurring missed targets are frustrating since the excitement of Jan 2019. There would appear however to be a clue in the updated website of New Age ltd whose Larger Marine III License surrounds Tilapia.
In recent days New Age have published a slide showing leads on their license in addition to the actual delineation of the Large Nene Marine Discoveries led by ENI (75% partners). Until last week ive been looking to see what was next door to Tilapia in terms of drill targets but could not find any info. This has changed

I havnt seen the Nene Marine and Litchenjii field extents outlined until now. The surface area is Big - from Nene to litchenjii is almost 30km and around 10km wide and they are almost joined together a one large structure.
it appears from these links that the ENI / New Age Discovery Cluster ( Nene Marine , Nkala , Banga and Litchendjii ) is a Giant Discovery - similar in scale to Jubilee in Ghana or the big Nigerian Fields . ENI have stated these finds currently amount to 3.5 Billion barrels oil equivalent with about 1/3rd of this as Gas / Gas Condensate . Green = Oil , Red = Gas , Green Red stripes = Gas Condensate
Click on Marine III at the bottom of the page to show the New Age Leads next to AAOG license. New Age have shown 3 medium sized leads immediately adjacent to Tilapia which is shown as a small blob which reflects the small scale nature of the appraisal discovery as proved so far , and what AAOG are attempting to build on.
The AAOG prospectus hints at a larger structure at depth which extends to the Tilapia boundary and south into New Ages license. If AAOG believe that the Djeno contains oil and they have stated as much recently then there is a possibility that a discovery would extend into New Ages License. We may need to wait for TLP -4/5 to get a clearer picture.
If the next AAog wells and also the New Age Marine III leads adjoining Tilapia are proven to be oil bearing then it stands to reason that we may be looking at a Large accumulation with Aaog and New AGE involved and this may be one of the reasons for the ongoing delay. The entire Tilapia license and the adjacent New Age Leads when joined together appear to be about 15km x 7km wide. A sizeable Potential accumulation in surface area terms.
With recent statements by AAOG and with Tilapia only 20km due East of ENI's Giant Oil field and adjoining 3 more Leads, its hard to believe that AAOG doesnt have something worth more than 20 million mkt cap here. In my opinion
