Rig Sk501 in Somalia Rig PR 5 is in Kenya that's correct but we are not after rig PR 5.
Our Rig is SK 501 which is tugged away in eyl, northern puntland.
The exact whereabouts is unknown due to security reasons but insider sources say its in eyl, northern somalia.
The link below said the rig has been moved to a village south of Garowe and then to Eyl.
Not just idle chatter ..one of the posters is a puntlander with links to the puntland gvt.

Sakson Egypt Petroleum Services our oil rig supplier joined Facebook 2 weeks ago.
There you can see that they also supply Genel Energy in Iraq.
JV with Genel could be handy.
So just waiting to get access to drill ready prospects in nugaal.
6th November is the key date.
Thats when the cabinet sits in place.
I am certain that the energy minister will press ahead with sorting out the conflicting areas in the Nugaal valley between Puntland and Somaliland.
So positive news flow about JV/ Nugaal is possible this year.
