About African Petroleum
African Petroleum is a dynamic, independent oil and gas exploration company
operating ten licences in five countries offshore West Africa. The Company's assets
are located in fast-emerging hydrocarbon basins, principally the West African
Transform Margin, where several discoveries have been made in recent years,
including African Petroleum's Narina-1 discovery in February 2012, which proved a
working hydrocarbon system in the Liberian basin. With a combined net acreage
position of 30,378km2 through its licences in Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Senegal, Sierra
Leone and The Gambia, the Company has matured its portfolio rapidly, acquiring
more than 18,500km2 of 3D seismic data and successfully drilling three wells, one
of which was the first hydrocarbons discovery in the offshore Liberian deep-water
basin.
