Samo-1 results

  • Pre-drill was mapped as a very large structure, possibly connected to SNE

  • Samo was deep to prognosis with the result that the Samo trap is separated from the SNE oil field

  • Excellent reservoir was present but unfortunately at the expense of the seal intervals

  • Hydrocarbon shows in the well at multiple levels indicates that hydrocarbon charge entered the feature, but was not retained because of the seal breach

  • Seal breach at Samo does not impact remaining prospects towards the SNE oil field

  • Oil shows in Samo are encouraging for the other prospects identified within the A2 and A5 blocks

Further Gambian prospectivity

  • Mapping is continuing after the Samo-1 well

==> picture [331 x 369] intentionally omitted <==

  • Oil shows in Samo-1 and in Jammah-1

  • provide strong support for charge into the area

  • Numerous prospects are being mapped and evaluated for potential drilling in 2020
