    Carafat the most reasonable and has the most courage to say what he believes ..

     

     

    There some Somalilanders that believe in unified and some actually dont but thoes that do believe in unified Somalia are silent and dont have the balls to express their consicous veiw and believe..

    This could be a possibility given our troubled nature and history but there is nothing to suggest on the ground that that is the case right now. Most of what your wrote were not on the priority and could be considered irrelevant for now. The London conference will be a success if our national leaders see most of the things eye to eye and are on the same page, which they seem to be doing a fine job at moment, the only fear that may jeopardize any successful outcome is if internal conflict within the Somali leadership happens, and I believe that's not going to occur as they have matured politicallhy.

     

     

    KEEP IN MIND we only have 4months left saxib .. Not much time...The constitution is not even ready...waar waxan waa been

    Do you guys think we could meet the goals that Briton has set for us in London confrence?

     

    I mean i know the Somali national army are mere militias with ak 47 i dont think they can defeat alshabab which is battle harden international group..

     

    i mean lets look at the facts on the ground.. We are no where near anything beacause we lack the basic institutions to be a country..

     

    We dont have a military that could defend somali boarders and waters.

     

    We dont have a free independent election commission group that could monitor the process

     

    We dont have the fund for this large scale project not mention the professionals

    No real effert has been made by the TFG to reconcile between all somali factions.

     

     

     

     

    this project is heading to failure because we are 4months in and nothing has been prepared ...

     

     

    Maybe this is a set up after all. To break our last hope.:confused:

    More evidence or it did not happen.

    (Reuters) - Canada's Africa Oil Corp (AOI.V) said it found oil at one of its wells at Block 10BB in Kenya, the first such discovery in the African country.

     

    Shares of Africa Oil -- which also has assets in Ethiopia, Mali and Puntland in Somalia -- rose as much as 58 percent to a nearly three-and-half year high of C$3.71 on the Toronto Venture Exchange. The stock was one of the top percentage gainers on the exchange.

     

    On Monday, Kenya announced its first oil discovery in the country's northern part, where British Tullow Oil Plc (TLW.L) has been conducting exploratory drilling.

     

    Kenya and its neighbors in east Africa have become an international hot spot for oil and gas exploration after commercial oil deposits were found in Uganda and natural gas in Tanzania and Mozambique.

     

    Tullow Oil operates the Block 10BB with a 50 percent working interest and Africa Oil holds the remaining stake. Tullow Oil shares were up 2.5 percent on the news.

     

    The Ngamia-1 well will now be drilled to a depth of about 2,700 meters to explore further potential, Africa Oil said in a statement.

     

    The Lokichar Basin, where the Ngamia discovery has been made, is one of seven basins mapped in Africa Oil's acreage.

    what the hell happend to Puntland drilling? Kenya find was at 2700 meters puntland is in depth of 300 some meters..

     

     

    NO FIND so far.:confused::(

    Triangle land i dont know why the TFG should place them in any importance is beyond me... Its waste of time to negotiate with clan states.

    I mean come on are they any diff then "Puntland?" i dont think so, even less since puntland has been making real economic progress by attracting major companies to change the lifes of Somali people.

     

     

    Triangle people are well know selfish un patriortic people who have contributed little to Somali history... Truth be said. I mean how has liberated the North?

     

    How could they govern a region they have never shed blood for? this baffles me alot:D

     

     

     

    I say if they dont comeback to fold. place them in economic sanctions using the sole representitive central goverment diplomacy and muscle by cuting dipolomatic ties with any country who channeles economic aid to the "triangle state" without consulting or seeking the permission of TFG... case closed.:cool:

    Puntland and Somalia Oil: Who owns the Resources the people or the corporations and will Oil be found

     

     

    12th March 2012 · 0 Comments

     

    Please dear brothers read this important article if you care about your people

    and country:

    Puntland and Somalia Oil: Who owns the Resources the people or the corporations

    and will Oil be found?By Dr.Mohamed Said, 11th March 2012Somalia is claimed to

    have vast resources of oil and gas in a report presented in the late 80′s by the

    world Bank (The Harms and Bradley Report) . Some Study was done in the eighties

    by major oil companies and then did they realize that Somalia and Sudan had the

    best chances of finding oil and gas in the Eastern Africa region. Today, Sudan

    produces about 500,000 barrels of Oil a day though due to politics again that

    number has dwindled with the separation of Sudan into South and North and

    Somalia ZERO barrels of oil a day. Why are we in this quagmire in Somalia?

    Wikileaks and other reliable sources also point to collusion between President

    Abdirahman Farole and Prime Minister Abdiwali M. Ali that they own shares

    through their families in Horn Petroleum (51% owned by Africa Oil) which was

    created recently in July 2011 just after Prime Minister Abdiwali M. Ali came to

    power at the Transitional Federal Government based in Mogadishu. The ownership

    structure also looks one sided with the Oil companies owning 70% while the

    Puntland Government owns 30% – the real question is where are the Somali

    Parliamentarian at both the Puntland and TFG level who are to debate strategic

    issues of this nature and why are they silent on this issue? The above solid

    information should lead to the impeachment of both Prime Minister Abdiwali M.

    Ali and President Farole of Puntland for corruption and abuse of office.

    Currently, the ongoing drilling for two wells in Puntland was done without a

    proper technical analysis and the reasons are found here in my humble view:Horn

    Petroleum, Range Resources and Africa Oil announced recently that they have

    crossed the 2053Metres with no oil but only some shows – we knew that even

    before they started the drilling. They were only stating an obvious statement.

    Their target or in industry jargon TD was going to be 3800 metres (see their 7th

    March report here: http://www.hornpetroleum.com/s/News_Releases.asp) – my humble

    bet is, these guys will find nothing. A similar case study can be found at what

    happened in 2005 offshore Kenya where Woodside petroleum booked a health

    $40million tax loss and the whole public relations fiasco of not finding oil was

    left to the Kenyan Government and its Ministry of energy – a wrong spot or

    prospect was drilled without proper due diligence. It took several years the

    Kenyan government to bring interest back at its E&P sector.

    Furthermore, we have the following from Africa Oil ….’ The operator has mapped

    numerous prospects and leads across both the Nugaal Valley and Dharoor Valley

    rifts that appear to display some of the key elements recognized within the

    Yemeni rift analogues. Although the prospectivity is based solely on the loose

    grids of 2D seismic and potential field data, potential play fairways and large

    trapping geometries can be mapped’ – why not do more mappings?(Ref:

    http://www.africaoilcorp.com/s/Puntland.asp?ReportID=505141)and here

    http://www.africaoilcorp.com/i/pdf/Q3_Presidents_Message.pdf. Classified

    Information we have gathered from reliable sources also point to …‘a well

    planned process and collusion between some Arab states and the companies

    drilling for oil in Puntland. The collusion is in the form of Saracen a

    mercenary company with connections to British and South African former special

    forces which is being funded by the UAE government to the tune of several tens

    of millions of dollars for protecting Puntland oil and gas companies from

    threats of resistance and a meagre return that the oil companies will drill at a

    wrong place and that they shall be guided on where to drill for oil and gas…….

    That might Result in the downgrading for the prospects of oil and gas in

    Puntland and Somalia as an oil and gas province’.

    The Site at Shabeele-1 was decided only on a mere couple of hundreds of 2D

    seismic, no 3D Seismic, no Geochem Study, no Aeromagnetic Study, and with a

    possible old data that is hard to process which will result in ZERO finding and

    NO OIL at that end. According to industry best practice and international

    bench-marking in the E&P sector what this junior companies have done is like

    committing treason of sorts on the technical front.

    Further Studies point to… ‘There were three wells drilled within the Nugal

    Valley. The two key wells drilled within the Nugaal Basin are the Nogal 1 and

    Kalis-1. The drilling reports for these two wells indicated that Lower

    Cretaceous and Jurassic sandstone targets were not reached but that oil shows

    were found in some of the shallower sandstones – why not reach the targets?. The

    Darin 1 well drilled on the rim of the Dharoor Valley, outside the rift valley

    sequence and also off-structure, though it encountered dead or heavy oil shows

    in several horizons’.

     

    Surface oil seeps, as well as oil shows reported in several exploration wells

    drilled by previous operators in the area, indicate that the source rocks have

    generated hydrocarbons and that they have migrated through the system – why not

    drill in this basin first which had clear targets shown by Conoco in the late

    80’s – they spent over $150million dollars then which is equivalent of almost

    $1Billion of today. Surely, will they really walk away from their assets in

    Somalia and Even AGIP- ENI has block 31 on its Balance Sheet?

    The Oil companies currently drilling in Puntland will not lose anything in this

    virtual transaction they will gain and post a tax loss on the balance sheet of

    their companies and secondly they can use the dry well for, yes – Nuclear waste

    disposal that can generate hundreds of millions of dollars and Farole’s sons are

    taking that deal by the nose. (Please see my previous article Puntland: Is it

    Oil exploration or dumping of nuclear waste?

    http://www.galgalanews.com/?p=5587)Finally, who really owns the assets of Oil

    and gas in Puntland? Information on Wikipedia

    (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_exploration_in_Puntland) and IHS (www.ihs.com)

    really question the ownership of Oil and gas in Somalia. We heard recently that

    AGIP-ENI and Conoco have lodged complaints at the Hague for violations of their

    concessions in Somalia.

    In Somalia, we have vast resources of oil and gas but we need to search and

    manage it wisely or else we shall go the way of Libya, Syria, Nigeria, and

    Afghanistan where government have collapsed or are on the way to collapsing or

    in the GCC countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar where financial and

    political policies are made for them and will be misguided and their finances

    shall be controlled by virtual companies in tax havens.

    Puntland, and Somalia at large welcome to the murky world of Oil and Gas

    Geopolitics where friends and foes cannot be differentiated on face value.
