Strategic Review Update
On 11th December 2009, Gasol announced that it had decided to undertake a review
of the strategy of the Company. The review, being conducted in conjunction with
Gasol's largest shareholder African Gas Development Corporation, has been
reassessing all of the opportunities available for monetisation of stranded gas
assets in the Gulf of Guinea, taking into account the speed with which projects
can be developed and desire to achieve early shareholder returns. It is also
focusing on ways to add value to the proposed LNG production that will derive
from existing projects that are under development by Gasol.
The review is progressing well and the Directors expect to announce their
recommendations before the end of May 2010.

About Gasol
Gasol's strategy is to identify and develop commercially attractive
opportunities in the gas sector, with initial focus on liquefied natural gas
("LNG"), sourced from Africa's Gulf of Guinea region.
Through the creation of a substantial value chain via a series of partnerships
involving gas gathering, liquefaction and the shipment and regasification of LNG
into high-value markets worldwide, Gasol aims to become the premier
Africa-focused gas independent.
Gasol works in partnership with governments, energy majors, utilities and
independents in Africa, the USA and Europe. Gasol is Afren's exclusive
downstream liquefaction partner in developing an LNG monetisation strategy.
