I wouldn't minimize the significance of a good strike, but there is a long road to travel before oil in the ground becomes cash in the bank. You need a calculator to figure out the byzantine overlapping shareholdings, but I believe that AOI's interest in Venus is limited to the sum of their interest in AFE and ECO.  AFE has 27% and ECO has 50%.  (I think AOI has 31% of AFE, so ...more

- AOI owns 31% of Impact O&G - Impact has a 20% direct interest in the license - Therefore, AOI has a 6.2% effective interest in Venus - Venus value (see link below) - the field is estimated to hold 3 billion barrels.  IHS values 1 billion barrels with a $70 oil price at US$3.2 billion. At $90/bbl oil price (current), that number increase to $5.3 billion.  AOI holds an effective ...more

Mr Camel was correct, that previous post was very inaccurate impact own part of AFE, ECO have other blocks and part of gazania with AFE as of now

It's not a material event for Total and has zero commercial value at the moment can't even report if the spend was a waste or not. They already released the presence of light oil....now need months to evaluate plus additional holes to quantify scope of discovery. 48 MTHS to cash flow.

it is inacurate because these crossholdings are deliberatetly , there is no other explanation, opaque, all roads lead to main street holdings, and main street is a dead end , impact has 20 percent interest in venus maybe probably most likely impact does own 509 m of the pig also known as africa energy and aoi owns 30 percent of impact aoi owns 19.9 of afe beyond ridiculous also 18 percent of eco
