The two reports are consistent in that they both said there was presence of hydrocarbons but no viable discovery.. Besides, why would the company risk price fluctuations?

MAY 17, 2012 - 08:00 ET Africa Oil Provides Update on Puntland Drilling View News Release in PDF Format VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 17, 2012) - Africa Oil Corp. (TSX VENTURE:AOI)(OMX:AOI) ("Africa Oil" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the drilling program in Puntland, Somalia. 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 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 is operated by Horn Petroleum Corp. ("Horn Petroleum"). Africa Oil holds a 51% equity interest in Horn Petroleum which in turn holds a 60% working interest in the Dharoor and Nugaal permits in Somalia. The other partners in the blocks include Range Resources (20%) and Red Emperor (20%). Africa Oil Corp. is a Canadian oil and gas company with assets in Kenya, Ethiopia and Mali as well as Puntland (Somalia) through its 51% equity interest in Horn Petroleum Corporation. Africa Oil's East African holdings are in within a world-class exploration play fairway with a total gross land package in this prolific region in excess of 300,000 square kilometers. The East African Rift Basin system is one of the last of the great rift basins to be explored. New discoveries have been announced on all sides of Africa Oil's virtually unexplored land position including the major Albert Graben oil discovery in neighbouring Uganda. Similar to the Albert Graben play model, Africa Oil's concessions have older wells, a legacy database, and host numerous oil seeps indicating a proven petroleum system. Good quality existing seismic show robust leads and prospects throughout Africa Oil's project areas. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and on First North at NASDAQ OMX-Stockholm under the symbol "AOI". ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD Keith C. Hill, President and CEO Africa Oil's Certified Advisor on NASDAQ OMX First North is Pareto Öhman AB.

touche' my friend I was thinking more of this

cool

Somali politics is like sewage, you will go in all rosy and clean but come out dirty and stinky, Let's hope next generation fares better.

Carafaat..Xiin and Duke have no control over anything. If Faroole made objections to certain articles in the Constitution. It's within his rights and it's for the TFG to address those issues and make counter-offer or argument. This is negotiation, a concept alien to many Somalis it seems. And no one is seceding. I don't know you were keep on repeating that. It seems you actually want that to happen.

Connection is bad. Johnny, I thought you be in Xamar by now?

Carafaat....Your silly assertions are getting sillier.

Dear mother of God-seriously?

^In theory they will all come under the new Government but reality will dictate otherwise.

^Dude we are lucky if we don't build it in the middle of the road. It looks nice.

^It won't sxb, come August the TFG would still be controlling only Xamar.

Emotions aside, lets be realistic. the TFG barely controls beyond Xamar. How could one think it can control the actions of the regions in the periphery?

That would still better than glazing Islam with prostitution.

Islamic prostitution...seriously you couldn't find another way to make your point?

^lool...khatar dheh, If I remember right, the program used to come on Tuesday, one of the few things I liked on Somali TV. See camal Jeeri, Shimaali, Luul Jeylaani, Sahro Dawo, Baastow iyo Sulfa aawe

LOL..ar kadaa see camaal, you are taking way back:) There was this pop song by an African band that used to come on habeenka caweyska. I can't remember. May MMA knows.

It reminds me of Somalia! I don't remember it being sung by any pop star This too reminded of Xamar Cadeey

Many important world leaders don't speak English and it's not requirement. This seemed like informal setting but the important thing is once the press conference started, the man answered the questions eloquently and got his message through.

I see nothing wrong.

^Waa kheyr marka:-) Crazy ones make to the headlines hence the belief there are many dayuusyo.
