About African Petroleum Corporation Limited

African Petroleum Corporation is a dynamic,

independent oil and gas exploration company operating

eight licences in four 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 28,295km2 through its licences in Côte d'Ivoire,

Liberia, Senegal and Sierra Leone, the Company has

matured its portfolio rapidly, acquiring more than

15,000km2 of 3D seismic data and successfully drilling

three wells, one of which was the first hydrocarbons

discovery in the offshore Liberian deep-water basin.
