Coz the Norwegians were smart. They set up a "National Oil Fund" and corruption is much lower than most (if not all) African oil producers. Norwegian politicians are not overpaid nor live like kings unlike their African counterparts. Transparency is also key.

Compare Norway to Nigeria, Angola, Libya, etc...

The licensing committee has mapped out eight new blocks , according to Ministry of Energy commissioner for
petroleum Martin Heya.
The new blocks are to be
auctioned “within weeks” and are expected to be snapped by other oil majors as demand for exploration blocks in East Africa, enhanced by discoveries of petroleum along the coastlines of Tanzania and Mozambique, increases.

A Canadian firm, Simba
Energy, is in talks with
potential prospectors to
acquire a stake in its oil block in northern Kenya.
The company, which holds a 100 per cent working interest in Block 2A, said farm-out
talks were progressing well after it opened its regional office in Wajir where the block is located.

Why French troops have moved into Mali.

FRENCH President Francois Hollande said at different times: ‘France will not be the policeman of Africa……In no event will France intervene in Mali’.

Months later, on January 11, 2013, he sent 2,500 troops and warplanes into the Mali crisis in Operation Serval.

The president saw a need for immediate intervention because Mali was being overrun by jihadists from the north who were moving towards the capital Bamako.

UN members have backed the French intervention.

A French poll on January 16 showed that 75 per cent of those surveyed supported the president’s initiative. French politicians, too, backed the decision in the first few days.

But criticism soon emerged from the opposition.

Former Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, who spoke out against the war in Iraq at the UN in 2003, criticised the ‘haste’ of ‘warmongers’. He said such wars create a spiral of violence, and more so as none of the conditions for success had been met in the case of Mali which has no single war objective, no credible support in Mali as a failed state with a failed army, and no genuine regional support.

The french did try to create a Tuareg state in the 50s. Tuareg is currently a hotbed for oil & gas. Exploration by Tullow (UK), Total (France), Qatar, Algeria. Someone wants a Tuareg state for obvious reasons.

After Gadaffi, the heatwave is now in Mali & Algeria. This coffee is overcooked...

Am waiting it out patiently. Meanwhile, I was having a conversation with a guy who interprates for me the oil maps and he was of the idea that Zimbabwe is a hotbed for gold, oil and gas ( especially gas ). Same goes for Namibia.

Griffiths Energy successfully
completed drilling the
Badila-2 development well to
a depth of 2,075 meters.
Badila-2 was cased as a
producer prior to moving the
drilling rig to Badila-3.
Operations are underway to
flow test Badila-2, which will
occur in the coming weeks.

Extensive coring and wireline
logging suggest 195 meters
of net oil pay at Badila-2, in
line with the Company's
expectations and more than
eight times the oil pay
perforated and accessed for
testing on the Badila-1
discovery well. At Badila-2
the net oil pay includes 101
meters in the Lower
Cretaceous C zone across 5
sands, 92 meters in the
Lower Cretaceous D zone
across 8 sands and 2.5
meters in the Lower
Cretaceous E sands.

Federal prosecutors have
initiated proceedings to
recover more than $20-
million of Griffiths Energy International Inc. shares granted to two relatives and a friend of Chad diplomats in 2009, when the company was
seeking to obtain rights to some of the country’s rich oil and gas properties.

New rules seek to boost
revenues from oil
ventures
The profit from oil
production would be shared between the government and the company in the ratio of
78:22, respectively, after
deduction of expenses where production is above 100,000 barrels per year.

I just wish they would increase the bidding of these blocks or any mining licenses like 5 times the minimum amount they are asking for for I don't think they know what they have and its impact later on.
