First the good news is that Africa Oil and partner Tullow announce
that they have encountered a total net oil pay in excess of
100 metres across multiple reservoir zones in the Ngamia-1 well (in
Kenya) a gross oil bearing interval of 650 metres. So far that well
is down to 1550 metres and needless to say Tullow continues to
have unprecedented success...which CGX Energy hopes to share
come July on their joint venture on the Jaguar well.
In the meanwhile CGX has come up with three oil shows but
little else to show for their efforts on their Eagle well, which also
unfortunately cost 71 million dollars instead of the budgeted 55.
Meanwhile, President Steve Hermeston, is no longer with the
company. Former president, and now once again President, Kerry
Sully, tells us that data rooms will be open for potential joint venture
partners to look at what they’ve come up because they do
have the lands that they hope to joint venture down the road.
In the meantime, because of the cost overruns, little CGX may
have to raise yet more money.
