About African Petroleum Corporation
African Petroleum Corporation 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 Corporation'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.
