NORF & NGOONGE , I know you are celebrating today but you should do toe hardest to rain in the troubles. It is taking a clan formation and it's your sub clan against those that you have fought in the past... http://www.tvsomalilandeurope.net/?page=newsReadDetails&Detail=5512

There are 6000 wells on ND, yet in Thierry first try the found Oil...

20%, Horn Petroleum 60%, Red Emperor Resources NL 20%) in the Dharoor Block in Puntland approximately 300 metres above planned target depth (TD). You've suspended drilling the well for future testing. What is your assessment of the result? MD Peter Landau The well has been a significant success to date with the discovery of a 12 to 20 metres net hydrocarbon pay zone in the Jesomma sands. The zone needs to be commercially flow tested and this will be undertaken after the completion of the second well, Shabeel North, which will spud early June. Based on Range's internal technical team's review of the net pay zone and results to date, a successful flow test could result in 70 to 130mm barrels of recoverable oil from the well of which 14 to 26mm bbls would be attributable to Range. It is also important to remember that this is the first hydrocarbon well drilled in the Dharoor Valley for over 50 years and it is a massive credit to all involved, namely Horn Petroleum, the Puntland Government and the local Puntland communities that the well has been successfully drilled to date. Globally, the average discovery rate is between one in five and one in 10 for a `wildcat' well, which essentially is what Shabeel-1 is, hence we consider the well successful to date with both the net pay and the confirmation of an active

Shirkadda howlaha shidaal barista ka wada dalka Soomaaliya gaar ahaan Ceelka Shabeel-1 ee Dooxada Dharoor ayaa markii ugu horeysey shaaca ka qaaday in shidaal laga helay Puntland. Horn Petroleum oo iyadu ah shirkadda gacanta ku haysa qodaalka ceelka Shabeel-1 ayaa war-saxaafadeed ay soo saartay ku *sheegtay in Riigeedu uu gaaray shidaal kadib markii ceelka hoos loo qoday masaafo dhan 3.47km. Shirkadda ayaa sidoo kale war-saxaafadeedkeeda ku sheegtay in la hakiyey qodaalka ceelka Shabeel-1 si loo tijaabiyo in shidaalka laga helay uu yahay mid suuqyada caalamiga ah loo iib geyn karo. “waxaa na dhiirigeliyey natiijadan hordhaca ah oo muujinaysa jiritaanka shidaalka ee ceelka Shabeel-1″*David Grellman maareeyaha guud ee shirkadda Horn Petroleum ayaa yiri. Shirkadda ayaa dhinaca kale sheegtay in dhowaan la bilaabi doono qodaalka ceelka Shabeel-2 oo isagu masaafo 3.5 ah u jira halka laga qoday ceelka Shabeel-1. Shabeel-1 oo muddo 4-bilood ah laga joogo xiligii qodaalkiisa la bilaabay ayaa in badan oo dadka arimaha shidaalka ka faalooda ahi waxay sheegeen inuu horseedi doono koboc dhanka ganacsiga ah oo xoogan kaas oo Soomaaliya gaar ahaan Puntland u furi doona baal cusub. Dowladda Puntland ayaan arintan weli wax war ah kasoo saarin, waxaase la filayaa in ayaamaha soo socda ay mas’uuliyiinta ugu sareeya dowladu ka hadlaan islamarkaana la qabto munaasabad balaaran oo ceelka Shabeel-1 xarigga looga jarayo. Dadka reer Puntland iyo guud ahaan Soomaalida ayaa si weyn usoo dhoweeyey howlaha shidaal baarista ee ka socda Puntlan.

An article that get his name right, with pictures and what a welcome for Islaan Bashir Islaan Abdulle. Again anyone who thinks he is against the State of Puntland, does not know the Issim. The welcome warms the heart.

The most amusing thing is that some people are overjoyed and are rubbing in it in, others are bitter and trying to play everything down. I won't wage time on the first group some are new comers and only interested at gloating. The second group's position evevolved from outright rejection of the drilling to the now constant " there is no Oil found" yet all the news indicates otherwise.

It's the greatest single project in our recent history & so far so good.

I think some people are trying to put negative spin to something as clear as day. They drilled one well & found a working system, they found Oil & now drilling the second well & bringing testing equipment to figure out the real potential. It's great thus far...

The rig will now move to the Shabeel North location which is 3.5 kilometers north of the current location. The primary objective of this well will be to evaluate the Upper Cretaceous Jesomma Sands which appear to be oil bearing at the Shabeel location. Subsequent to the drilling of this well, it is the intention of the Company to return to the Shabeel well and test the Jesomma sands once the necessary testing equipment has been mobilized into the country. Keith Hill, President and CEO of Africa Oil, commented, "We are very encouraged by the results of the Shabeel well which appears to have confirmed oil bearing sands in two zones. This has very positive implications for the prospectivity of the basin. We look forward to the results of the Shabeel North well and to testing the Jesomma sands to confirm the potential of the block."

The Shabeel well has reached a total depth of 3,470 meters and has encountered metamorphic basement at a depth of 3,430 meters and is currently being suspended for future testing. In addition to the previously announced 12 to 20 meter zone of significant hydrocarbon pay in the Upper Cretaceous Jesomma Formation, the well has encountered additional potential net pay sands in the Jurassic Adigrat Formation at a depth of 3,246 to 3,430 meters, several of which exhibited oil and gas shows. Petrophysical analysis of the well log data indicates up to 3 meters of potential hydrocarbon pay in several thin sand units. They are not considered to warrant testing at this time, but do further confirm the existence of a working petroleum system.

The news is great the fact that oil orva working hydrocarbon system has been found in the first well is in itself quite remarkable. I believe celebrating at this time is more than appropriate and Shabelle North will bring bigger news.

Oba, you dis not get the purpose of the thread oh well..

If it's not about clan what made hundreds of people demonstrate?

Shabelle, my clan and Somalinimo are not two separate things since my clan are Somali. Also I am not defending Faroole just pointing out that this meeting was schedule way before all this weeks news and it was not set up by him. The purpose of the meeting is for the signaturies othe Road Map.

By the way hargeysa is the capital of Somaliland every one is welcome in Somaliland no one can claim it from others. People are stating that it's Dahsbshiil that bought the land & are paying the elders to keep quite. How did these men get all these arms? Also why did the two Ministers run away for their lives?

The point is that he did not call for any conference the needing was scheduled from before. He just made his move prior and thus put his issue top of the agenda.

You have not explained how such militia could organize and attacks a militia base. You say it's a long story, well go ahead explain. Also are the locals from Oodweyne's clan pissed that the land is sold to a businessman from NGOONGE's clan or Dahabshiil and this is basically the gang warfare from Burco transplanted to Hargaysa Do explain. Also this is troubling 10 dead and 17 to be executed...

I am not concerned about speculation and who might travel here or there. Also I am quite certain that Puntland will never secede, it will always ask for what belongs to it. That's a fair share of Somalia's power and wealth. However that there is clan fighting inside Hargaysa is troubling.

I assume some other Islaans, the Golgodob Ugaas, who else will join Islaan Bashiir? I am more concerned about the clashes, riot and the 17 civilians sentenced to death. The troubles in East Hargaysa are a more pressing at the moment that the Holiday plans of Islaan Bashir & who might join him on a trip to the capital.

XX why is the Suldan speaking, what had ingot to do with an elder?

Why are they fleeing East Hargaysa? What monsters reside there that would force a minister with technicals to flee?
