The market news is quoted as saying:
Tullow Oil Plc (TLW), the London-based explorer with the most licenses in Africa, plans to sink two test wells in north- western Kenya this year and early 2012, while U.S.-based Apache Corp. (APA) may drill offshore next year, Heya said in an interview yesterday in Nairobi, the Kenyan capital. Spending on exploration and drilling is estimated at $126 million, and other companies may follow as more plans are approved, he said.
