Anadarko’s Activity in the Liberian/Ivorian Basins of West Africa
Why is APC’s discovery at Venus, on the western edge of the Liberian basin, exciting? Because the character of the find is very similar to the commercial Jubilee site at the eastern edge of the Ivorian basin. This increases the likelihood that the Liberian and Ivorian basins are parts of a 750-mile coastline that has commercial-scale hydrocarbon deposits from one end to the other. APC and Tullow are the major leaseholders in these basins.
