NOTES TO EDITORS:
Victoria Oil & Gas Plc ("VOG" or "the Company") is a fully-integrated onshore gas producer and distributor with operations located in the port city of Douala, Cameroon. Through the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Gaz du Cameroun S.A. ("GDC"), VOG delivers gas via a 50km gas distribution pipeline network to a range of major industrial customers.
Since spudding its first wells in 2010, the Company has grown to become the dominant player in the Cameroon onshore gas market, primarily through the 57% owned Logbaba gas project. GDC is partnered on this project with RSM Production Company ("RSM"), and Société Nationale des Hydrocarbures ("SNH"), who have holdings of 38% and 5% respectively.
Subject to government approval VOG will extend it acreage over 3,500km2 of the highly prospective Douala Basin with the addition of the Matanda and Bomono license areas. A drilling programme on the Logbaba asset is underway to add further gas reserves to meet the growing demand for gas in Cameroon.
Victoria Oil & Gas is listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange under the ticker VOG.
