On Advfn read euclid5 posts - well researched on the Madagascan oil blocks, past works done on the project over past years etc.. I read euclid5 posts on there stocks before and are well informed.
Below is some extracts.
"Results of the 2016 airborne gravity and magnetics survey conducted by Bridgeporth indicate that the target Mesozoic sedimentary basin, which outcrops in the southwest of Djibouti, extends across most of block 1. In January, 2017, Oyster's technical team, with support from energy ministry staff, conducted scouting field trips across this large potential field area to evaluate the scope for the next phase of exploration activities, including an onshore seismic campaign.
Dr. Phil Roach, head of exploration, commented: "Oyster is delighted to proceed to the third exploration phase in Djibouti, and is grateful to both the energy ministry and CERD for their continued support. We are targeting a Mesozoic basin which is seen in outcrop in the southwest of the country, since the Mesozoic basins on the south side of the Gulf of Aden were once contiguous with the prolific hydrocarbon basins in Yemen to the north, prior to the opening of the Gulf of Aden.
"Our work programs over the last five years have been thoughtfully designed to derisk the various elements involved and have been extremely successful to that end. Geological fieldwork in southwest Djibouti has already confirmed the presence of a Jurassic oil source, reservoir and seal."
