The Company stated this in a statement signed by its chief compliance officer and company secretary, Ms. Ayotola Jagun and released on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX) Limited.

Block KON 13 is strategically located in the prolific Kwanza Onshore Basin which represents significant exploration potential in both pre-salt and post-salt plays, with estimated prospective resources of 770 to 1,100 million barrels of oil. The block has two exploration wells previously drilled to a target depth of 3,000m, with oil and gas observed across various depths. With a 45 per cent participating interest, OER will lead the development of the block as operator, alongside Effimax (30 per cent) and Sonangol (15 per cent) as co-venturers.

Speaking on the award, Group chief executive, Oando, Wale Tinubu said, “I am thrilled by our successful bid and award of Block KON 13 in Angola. This development underscores Oando’s relentless commitment to expanding our footprint across Africa and contributing to the continent’s energy sufficiency goals.

He also said “I am confident in our ability to leverage our expertise to develop and maximize the value of this asset. We look forward to collaborating with our co-venturers and other key stakeholders to harness this opportunity and unlock its full potential for Angola and Africa as a whole.”
