It's official As some have been posting earlier, Chariot spud earlier today:

A couple of notes:
Drilling to take 70 days, 25% chance of success, Chariot alone has 4-5 wells planned to be completed by end of 2013.
When you add in the wells planned by Chariot, Tower, HRT, etc, offshore Namibia is certainly going to be very active over the next 1 to 2 years. Accumulate your shares now and hang on for the ride.
