Liberia activity to accelerate in 2014

A rig is due into Liberia next year for a multi-company drilling programme in Q2 2014. Chevron, ExxonMobil, ‘super-indie’ Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and potentially African Petroleum Corporation could all drill next year, although the latter is hoping for a farm-out first. Chevron has already drilled two wells on its acreage without releasing results. “We’re staying quiet on the results but we’re coming back to drill some more,” Chevron Africa & Latin America Exploration & Production Company vice president frontier exploration and appraisal Ken Sample told African Energy.
