Did anyone again listen to the CEOs comments AGAIN yesterday about lots of opportunities that should come Saves way in West Africa other than Niger or Nigeria.
I asked the question at the time when Save were first reported by AEI to be in the running for the Oxxy Ghana (West Africa) assets - what if SAVE were part of a consortium given they were mentioned in the same article ?
Who is/was the consortium that Boru was putting together with Vitol ? Either way its' interesting that Vitol is now a blue chip investor in Save.
Highlights from the 3 AEI articles on Ghana and the recent transcript is also available online where Occidental says the outcome of the Ghana assets should be known soon.
"15/5/20 - After Total's withdrawal, Glencore and Vitol come running for what's left of Anadarko. What of Boru Energy and Vitol? Other companies are thought to be keen on the purchase, such as Boru Energy (founded in 2019 by Tullow's former chairman Aidan Heavey), ****which is putting together a consortium with trading company Vitol for this purpose****.
Finally, Savannah Energy, which operates blocks R1, R2, R3 and R4 in Niger as well as active gas assets bought from Seven Energy, is reportedly also in the running.
2/9/20 - Anadarko assets: Oxy courted by majors, traders and bold juniors
12/10/20 -CNOOC and Boru bid high for Oxy-Anadarko assets to force out their rivals.
To prevail over CNOOC, Boru Energy is counting heavily on the ties that its founder, Aidan Heavey, has with senior Ghanaian figures. Boru is owned by the former boss of Tullow Oil, who has hand plenty of time to build up a network in Ghana. Founded in 2019 and financed by Carlyle, Boru is still seeking to acquire its first major asset."
