Well COPL, where do I start, it's pretty simple really. They have a joint venture with Shoreline Energy called ShoreCan registered in Bermuda. Shorecan have a 10% shareholdiong in Essar Nigera, a company which has a sole interest in OPL 226.
OPL 226 is situated along both the northwest and southeast portions of the doubly plunging Anyala anticline. The Anyala Field, located within OML 83, is at the crestal area of the anticline and is predominately gas as presently defined by drilling. ShoreCan interprets the gas bearing sands in lower stratigraphic intervals to be gas caps to oil bearing sands present on the northwest plunging limbs and the southeast plunging limbs.
Noa-1 discovery drilled in 2001 on OPL 226 with several gas zone pays and a lower oil zone with nearly 20 metres of
blocky oil sand pay, on the southeast limb of the Anyala Anticline.
We are currently waiting for the extension of the PSC for OPL 226 which is due 30th September (next week) but in the RNS released on Thursday, this should creep into Q4 so hopefully in the next few weeks. It's a bargain price to get in at the mo so will be topping up there prior to the end of the month.
