Cooperation between Portugal and São Tomé and Príncipe in the safety of oil exploration
Sugar Mizzy
May 27, 2022
The advanced information was provided by the Sao Tome Minister of Justice, Internal Administration and Human Rights, Cilcio Bandeira dos Santos, at the end of the signing of a cooperation program with Portugal in security and civil protection, which took place in Lisbon.
At the end of Cilcio Bandeira dos Santos, the intention was to count on Portugal in this new stage of Sãomé and Príncipe in the country, which will arrive with the use of oil, whose first stage of life took place in April.
Thinking about this topic, the Tomense minister expressed the intention of creating a commission that those responsible for the two countries study, analyze and propose how to take into account that the maximum tranquility is ensured in the possible and possible effect of two countries. and aspirations around this energy resource.
The Portuguese Minister of Internal Administration, José Luís Carneiro, the other subscriber to the Administration program, guaranteed Portugal’s availability for further support.
The official said that his Sao Tome counterpart had already requested, before the signing of the document, that part of the training of the security forces focused specifically on the “security of critical infrastructures in Sao Tome and Principe, namely in the field of energy resources” .
In April, Económica and Principe are launched, by the Exclusive Zone, and in April, Económica and Principe, in a block of Shell and Galp companies.

Shell is expected to strike oil in STP EEZ Block 6 JACA-1.
It doesn't take 60 days to drill this well. Unless something has gone wrong and there were unexpected delays, then it would of course take longer. However, after 32 days they have either hit the reservoir depth or they are close. Now, after that, there could be lots of testing and analysis, that would require many more days.... but just to drill JACA-1, they don't need 60 days, not even 50.. maybe 40 days, max.. I am sure of that.
I know they have stated 60 in press release or wherever, but that estimate lots of contingencies, other work, and margin, as kingpindg stated.
ND9
Probably just a way to screw escrow holders. I would rather stick with the Trillion dollar company. I would like escrows to receive stock in that entity.
32 days since spud date... Unless something has gone wrong, they have probably already hit target JACA-1 reservoir depth or will do so very soon.

Withdrawal of Determination of Insufficient Assets To Satisfy Claims Against Financial Institution in Receivership
A Notice by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on 06/10/2014
ACTION Notice.
SUMMARY The FDIC has withdrawn and set aside its determination that insufficient assets exist in the receivership of Colonial Bank, Montgomery, Alabama, to make any distribution on general unsecured claims and that such claims have no value.
TABLE OF CONTENTS DATES:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES: The FDIC withdrew its determination on June 4, 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions regarding this notice, you may contact an FDIC Claims Agent at (972) 761-8677. Written correspondence may also be mailed to FDIC as Receiver of Colonial Bank, Attention: Claims Agent, 1601 Bryan Street, Dallas, Texas 75201.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 15, 2013, the FDIC determined that the assets of Colonial Bank, Montgomery, Alabama, were insufficient to make any distribution on general unsecured claims, and that such claims therefore had no value. Notice of the determination was published in the Federal Register on April 19, 2013. 78 FR 23565. The FDIC has now withdrawn its determination because the Receivership's theoretically possible recoveries have been revised upward as a result of changed circumstances and could possibly exceed the previously calculated $1.698 billion deficit, which in turn could possibly result in payment on non-deposit claims under the most favorable circumstances.
Dated: At Washington, DC, June 4, 2014.

Executive Secretary.

São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone

Following modern reprocessing of multi-client data, PGS discuss the four key reasons to be excited about the hydrocarbon prospectivity in the São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (STP-EEZ).This article appeared in Vol. 15, No. 5 - 2018
Hydrocarbon Potential in the São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (STP-EEZ)
Base map showing the territorial waters of the STP-EEZ together with neighbouring countries. The PGS MultiClient seismic and well datasets are shown together with annotations showing the major fluvial input points (orange arrows).
In recent years, the São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (STP-EEZ) has been the subject of significant attention from major oil companies, resulting in applications for exploration licences and farm-in activities over nine blocks. PGS reprocessed its MultiClient library data using modern processing techniques and conducted a basin analysis study to help understand the recent interest. The study shows that all the elements of a working petroleum system are present in the waters of the STP-EEZ. Continental and transitional crust provide structures and source rocks and PGS basin modelling reveals that these sediments are mature for oil and gas. Long-lived fluvial systems provide quality reservoirs fed from numerous sedimentary catchment areas.
The São Tomé and Príncipe Exclusive Economic Zone (STP-EEZ) lies within the heart of a tripartite petroleum neighbourhood dominated by long-lived fluvial sedimentary basins: the Niger Delta to the north, the Rio del Rey and Douala Basins to the north-east and the Rio Muni Basin to the east.

“It’s massive”: TotalEnergies makes huge oil discovery off Namibia with “exceptional” Venus-1 wildcat
Sources describe French supermajor’s ultra-deepwater discovery — where pre-drill resources stood at about 1.5 billion barrels — as “an elephant” find
23 February 2022 18:09 GMT UPDATED 25 February 2022 12:22 GMT
By Iain Esau in London
French supermajor TotalEnergies has made a “massive” oil discovery with its Venus-1 wildcat offshore Namibia, Upstream has been told.
There are well-founded suggestions that this ultra-deepwater structure in 3000 metres of water could be a multi-billion-barrel oil discovery, further confirming an earlier Upstream report that the initial results from the wildcat were positive.
The Venus probe represents another game-changer for Namibia’s government, which was already on a major high after Shell made another huge oil find with its Graff-1 probe just to the east.

An estimated 11 billion barrels in oil reserves have been found off Namibia’s coast, with the first production planned within four years, mines and energy minister Isak Katali announced Wednesday.
The finding could put Namibia on par with neighbouring Angola, whose reserves are estimated at around 13 billion barrels and whose production rivals Africa’s top producer, Nigeria.
Katali said that Enigma Oil & Gas, owned by London-listed Chariot Oil & Gas, has identified 11 prospects along the southern coast.
“The largest of these, the Nimrod Prospect in 350 meters (1,150 feet) depth, and most likely reserves in the event of success are estimated to be greater than four billion barrels,” he told parliament.
“Enigma expects to find oil rather than gas,” Katali said, adding that first production could begin as early as 2015.
Enigma holds a 50% equity in the offshore Southern Block together with Brazil’s Petrobras.
According to Katali, another Brazilian company, HRT Oil & Gas Ltd, has raised $1.3 billion on the Brazilian stock market, with $300 million earmarked for oil and gas exploration in Namibia.
He said that HRT has certified about 5.2 billion barrels of potential reserves. “This finding could turn offshore Namibia into a great producer of oil and gas in a short time,” Katali said.
In his statement to Parliament, Katali added that HRT would drill three to four wells in that area as early as next year.
Another find off Namibia’s central coast called Delta Prospect contained recoverable resources of up to two billion barrels of oil, by Arcadia Expro Namibia and British firm Tower Resources, he said.
“We expect that six to eight wells to be drilled in Namibia’s waters in the next 18 months, the highest number in Namibia’s exploration history,” he said.
Namibia has long been seen as a potential new source of oil, hampered by a lack of exploration to determine the extent of its reserves. Its offshore geology is similar to Brazil, which is seeing a boom in oil.

WaMu Accuses Shareholders of Milking System
Apr. 29, 2010 3:06 AM ETCOOP, JPM, BCS, LEHMQ15 Comments
Last Wednesday, Brian Rosen, lead attorney for Washington Mutual’s (WAMUQ) holding company, accused the company’s shareholders of attempting to milk the bankruptcy system.
Angered by Rosen’s "milk" statement made public in open court, images such as this have begun to circulate on the internet.
https://seekingalpha.com/article/201598-wamu-accuses-shareholders-of-milking-system
Remember when Rosen said in court there was nothing for shareholders and wampq/wamuq stock crashed? Well if there was nothing for shareholders, why did we get stock? So relying on Rosen’s word is just silly..
Well, we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes. Who is to say that Shell, Total, Qatar Energies haven’t discussed buying the erhc energy JDZ and EEZ acreage. Is Shell strikes big oil in STP eez block 6, that might trigger a buyout.. who know..
Jmho
Nd9
Erhc doesn’t currently have rights to STP eez block 6 so if Shell strikes oil, erhc should move up a little..,
If Shell hits oil in STP EEZ Block 6, what will that do for the ERHE share price? Could it go up to 1 cent? 5 cents?
ND9
kingpindg, good point. I forgot about Namibia. However, also note that the $100M payment is based on the wells drilled this year. So $100M implies Kosmos believes Shell will hit oil on all the wells they drill (& the percentages from Kosmos).
The Kosmos CEO really messed up. He panicked when oil crashed, selling off lots of good Kosmos assets in Namibia, STP, Suriname, etc, to raise money.

"So, this is clearly 1 for Thore. I think what's exciting is this is the first sort of deep water well in Sao Tome. So this is -- this opens up the potential for a lot of opportunity, but Thore, give us some color to the exploration well."
Thore Ernst Kristiansen
"Yes. Of course, we are really excited about this because this is truly frontier. It has been an area where many of the leading companies in the industry wanted to farm in. We have had been in the luxurious situation that we could choose partners. We have a very strong partner now in Shell in Sao Tome. We are drilling, we spudded on the 25th of April and moving rapidly ahead.
What is really exciting in Sao Tome is that, since it is the frontier play, and Galp is an owner, not only in Block 6 where we're drilling right now, we're also an owner in Block 11 and in 12. We actually see 10 to 12 additional prospects that then potentially could work if this works. But there is a lot of ifs there. This is frontier drilling with high probability of failure. But if it works, it can really be interesting. And I would be a little bit careful of being too precise on this first one. But it's certain where we're drilling right now could be a standalone development if it works."
"We did spud Jaca in Sao Tome on the 25th of April, an ultradeep water high potential frontier exploration well that will target a new play of the cretaceous age."
