Second Significant Oil Discovery In Kenya For Africa Oil

Africa Oil Corp. (TSXV:AOI,OMX:AOI)  has announced the second significant oil discovery in Kenya at the Twiga South-1 well. The Twiga South-1 exploration well, located in Block 13T, onshore Kenya, has encountered 30 metres of net oil pay in Tertiary sandstone reservoirs with further potential to be assessed by testing.

As quoted in press release: Keith Hill – President & CEO of Africa Oil

This second discovery, immediately following the basin-opening Ngamia-1 well result earlier this year, reaffirms the considerable prospectivity of the Lokichar Basin. Of notable interest, is the new fractured play opportunity which has been encountered for the first time in East Africa. We are very pleased with these exciting results to date and have significantly expanded our plans in Kenya and Ethiopia. With over 100 significant prospects and leads identified and an active drilling program with at least 3 drilling rigs operational, there is much to look forward to in 2013 as the exploration campaign and testing program move ahead.
