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

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 28,955km2 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
