REPUBLIC OF SUDAN<\/p>\n

WCAT has recently set up a Representative Office in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. This office will act as a hub for Sudanese, Chadian and South Sudanese petroleum projects with Dr Omar Badawi Abu-Elbashar as manager. Dr Omar is a Petroleum Engineer with over 30 years of petroleum industry experience and is also the Managing Director of PETRO-TEC, a petroleum technology and engineering consultancy company. He is a specialist in reservoir simulation, field development planning and reservoir management.\u00a0 Over the years he has built-up an extensive network in the higher echelons of the African oil industry and is on first name terms with many of the key players.<\/span><\/p>\n

CHAD<\/p>\n

During the last quarter Wildcat director Glyn Roberts visited Chad’s capital N’Djamena.\u00a0During this visit Glyn, in conjunction with Dr Omar, met various dignitaries within the Chadian oil department and discussed the possibility of collaborating on different projects. The meeting allowed WCAT to get a good understanding of opportunities available in the country.<\/p>\n

SOUTH SUDAN<\/p>\n

Last Year Dr Omar (Petro-Tec) handled South Sudan’s inaugural licensing round. \u00a0This September Dr Omar will be heavily involved in the South Sudan Oil Power conference, where WCAT will be accompanying Dr Omar.<\/p>\n

During the visit the company plans to have meetings arranged by Dr Omar with dignitaries such as the President of the Republic of South Sudan (Salva Kiir), Minister of Petroleum (Puot Kang Chol) and Managing Director of State-run oil company Nilepet (Dr Chol Abel).<\/p>\n

In addition the Company intends to have meetings with the oil ministers of Ethiopia, Somalia and Djibouti also arranged by Dr Omar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
