Oando puts a well on production close to us I understand (from a post by Oiljack in Investor Village) that this well is close to our Umu West prospect, significantly contributing to de-risk it

Oando Energy Resources Brings Ebendo-4 Well on Production at 2,000 bopd
CALGARY, Alberta, October 22, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Oando Energy Resources Inc. ("OER" or the "Company") (TSX: OER), today announced that the Ebendo-4 well, in which OER has a 42.75% working interest, has been brought on production at 2,000 bopd (855 bopd net to OER).
"Bringing the EB-4 well on stream boosts the combined gross production from the Ebendo field significantly to 4,000 bopd," said Pade Durotoye, CEO of OER. "Following the success of the EB-4 well, we continue to advance our Ebendo drilling program with our EB-5 well that is aimed at appraising the untested hydrocarbons contained within the five levels of hydrocarbon bearing sands that were encountered during the EB-4 drilling program."
The production increase of 2,000 bopd (gross) is attributable to the tie in of the EB-4 well that was recently drilled and completed as a dual string producer, as announced on August 20, 2012. The two strings have a total combined production capacity exceeding 2,000 bopd (gross), with the short string having the capacity for producing in excess of 1,000 bopd (gross) and the long string having the capacity for producing the balance. As a result of the increase in production, the Ebendo Field currently produces 4,000 bopd (gross) from the two producing wells, EB-1 and EB-4.
The field production capacity will be limited at 4,000 bopd (gross) for good reservoir management, whilst the field under goes further appraisal. Of the field's total gross production of 4,000 bopd, 1,710 bopd is attributable to OER.
OER owns a 42.75% non-operating interest in the Ebendo (OML-56) field.
