Africa Oil Corp (AOIFF)

[Rule_62]

Here is a description of the road trip from Nairobi to Lokichar. This is the road they would have to use:

NAIROBI TO THE WESTERN SHORES OF LAKE TURKANA BY ROAD

That only gets them to Nairobi.

Add to that the fact that truck-jackings are common, and an oil tanker makes for a juicy target. We're talking a country where truck-jackings happen in broad daylight in the Capital, let alone on dirt roads in the middle of nowhere.

Another complication might have to do with the production lease terms. It may well be time-limited (once they start production, they have x-number of years on the production lease). Would you want to start that clock running on production capacity limited by restrictions on trucking that is subject to unreliable roads and everything that goes with it? Or would you want to wait until the pipeline is available?

I'm sure that Tullow and AOI have given the possibility thorough consideration, and dismissed it for good reason.
