Global Upstream Scouting | Sub-Saharan Africa | Reconnaissance Rant, Atlas O-Rant-o, Etu Brutal Pre-Emption

SSA Regional Manager Jimmy Boulter and host Patrick Rutty dive into the still-growing inventory of reconnaissance (aka study, prospecting, technical evaluation, etc.) licences – mostly in the hands of the majors, mostly in Africa, and mostly with very light work commitments. They then air a difference of opinion on Atlas Oranto before converging again to speculate how Energean’s currently stymied bid to acquire Chevron Angola assets will end up.
