The link exists but finding it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. If you're a premium member maybe you can do a search on CEPSA before or right at the beginning of the time the CEPSA partnership was announced.

Ill see if I can google where Cepsa tried on its own to enter Kenya and failed, I believe numerous times prior to ERHC and Swala.

Just doing a quick Google search just now, and here's just one example...I'm sure there are many others:

"An offshore exploration deal was signed between Kenya Government and China, allowing CNOOC to explore in six blocks covering 44 500 sq miles in the north and south of the country. Kenya gave six key oil blocks to Chinese companies (CNOOC) to the detriment of potential European competitors. Companies such as Cepsa of Spain and Swedish Lundin International lodged complaints on this perceived favoritism."

Here's another one:

Nairobi — Two major European oil exploration companies have protested that they are unable to access Kenya even as the country emerges as the latest frontier in the ferocious global battle between Europe and China for oil resources.

The EastAfrican has learnt that the two European companies, Compania Espanola de Petrolas (Cepsa) of Spain and Sweden's Lundin International, have both lodged complaints with the government.
