Pareto Newsflash:
Positive read-through from Shell discovery offshore Namibia
Reuters yesterday published a news article stating that Shell has made a major oil and gas discovery offshore Namibia (close to the border to South Africa).
This has been rumored for a couple of weeks and the article based on “several industry sources” state that the discovery is likely to be announced by the Namibian government and Shell next week. The Graff-1 discovery is estimated to be 250-300 mill boe and will, if confirmed, open a new hydrocarbon basin.
This is positive for Africa Energy (BUY/TP SEK 4.50) as its Bock 2B exploration well expected to be drilled later this year is located in the same hydrocarbon basin. The discovery also has a positive read-through on Africa Oil (BUY/TP SEK 14) and Eco Atlantic given their interests in the region.
