  • East Africa is very little explored but seems to have the same oil and gas potential as West Africa. If so, East Africa could become a major new source of LNG supply to Asia within 10 years and compete with LNG from Australia.

    The majors will, doubtless, establish a very large presence in Africa over the next several years and provide exit opportunities for innovative and pioneering independents.

  • For more information on East African oil check out my article from yesterday (http://seekingalpha.co...) on what has been going on in Mozambique. The Shell bid at 220p per share for Cove, puts a valuation of $4.50/boe, which is a good price. Both Anadarko and ENI (next door block) are talking of farming down their interest in Area-1 and Area-4 offshore Mozambique: that's when real money is put on the table.
