Anglo African Oil & Gas (LON:AAOG) – 10p
Djeno Promising Recently, the Company reported that its combined exploration and appraisal well had intersected hydrocarbon bearing horizons and logging indicated a 12m oil column.
While we continue to have our concerns about the technical content of the board, we also believe that it must be remembered that even for strong exploration targets there is a 1 in 4 chance of success, and of that 1 in 4 success, only 1 in 3 are commercial, so successes are rare and must be celebrated.
While there remains the issue of the test program to undertake, across all the horizons intersected by TLP-103C, there has to be oil present in the first place to be able to be in a position to declare commerciality.
Anecdotally, we also believe that management’s election to replace the existing rig is the right one, and while this may take a little longer and be a little bit more expensive, it will be better in the long run. In selecting the rig for the TLP-104 well, we would hope that the management team will engage a suitable expert to be able to review and inspect the available equipment as necessary.
Now the drilling has been completed, the hard work of unlocking the value needs to start in earnest.
