The well is planned for the second half of this year. The Company also anticipates drilling a further exploration well in\u00a0Guyana\u00a0following this. Eco (the designated Operator), along with the Block partners at Africa Energy and Panoro, believe that Block 2B, which already has an established oil discovery, possesses considerable upside potential. We also evaluate that Block 3B\/4B, with the\u00a0Block Partners\u00a0at Africa Oil and Ricocure in the\u00a0Orange Basin,\u00a0South Africa, is directly correlated to the Graff-1 well, which was announced on Friday\u00a04 February 2022\u00a0by Namcor and block partners as a light oil discovery in the primary and secondary targets. We look forward to firming up our exciting drilling plans and updating our shareholders on the funding structure and timing of the wells in due course.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Further to the announcement on 10 January 2022, Eco (Atlantic) Oil &amp; Gas Ltd. has confirmed that it has signed a definitive Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) to acquire 100% of &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/south-africa-eco-atlantic-signs-definitive-share-purchase-agreement-with-azinam\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":10002,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7442,7445,11],"tags":[2944,70,8285,274,9998,8287,9843,9014,10146,2371],"class_list":["post-11787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-countries","category-southern-africa","category-top-news","tag-africa-energy","tag-africa-oil","tag-azinam","tag-block-2b","tag-block-3b-4b","tag-eco-atlantic","tag-graff-1","tag-panoro","tag-ricocure","tag-south-africa","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Africa-Oil-S.A-Portfolio.jpg?fit=400%2C275&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p5JWkQ-347","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":12015,"url":"https:\/\/www.oilnewskenya.com\/index.php\/south-africa-eco-atlantic-completes-acquisition-of-azinam\/","url_meta":{"origin":11787,"position":0},"title":"SOUTH AFRICA: Eco Atlantic Completes Acquisition of Azinam","author":"","date":"March 11, 2022","format":false,"excerpt":"Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas Ltd. has confirmed that it and Azinam Group Holdings (Azinam) have completed all conditions required to be completed in order to close Eco's acquisition of Azinam save and accept for receipt of the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
