LONDON (Bloomberg) -- Tullow Oil Plc, a UK exploration company, is in talks with Namibia’s government to withdraw from the $2 billion Kudu gas project as it shifts investments to other parts of Africa. Tullow, which has a number of large oil developments in western and eastern Africa, needs to allocate capital to those, the London-based company said Oct. 31 in an email. Tullow has a 31% stake in the Kudu project.

LONDON -- Kenya will need to focus on providing a competitive and stable fiscal environment if it is to fully exploit its offshore gas industry and attract investors ahead of Mozambique and Tanzania, says an analyst with research and consulting firm GlobalData. Reece Straker, GlobalData’s Upstream Oil & Gas Analyst, states that while Kenya is currently behind Tanzania and Mozambique in terms of discoveries, exploration interest has increased since Tullow’s first offshore discovery at block L8, announced in September 2012.
LONDON -- Tullow Oil has announced the results of a series of recent exploration and appraisal activities conducted in blocks 10BB and 13T onshore Kenya. The Kodos-1 exploration wildcat in Block 10BB is the first well drilled in the Kerio basin, northeast of the successful South Lokichar basin. Hydrocarbon shows were encountered in Kodos-1, which indicates the presence of an active petroleum system. However, reservoirs were mixed quality alluvial sands close to the basin boundary fault at this well location.
LONDON -- Chariot Oil & Gas has opted not to apply for a new exploration license in the Northern Blocks 1811A&B, offshore Namibia, with the current license due to lapse on Oct. 26. Chariot analyzed significant amounts of proprietary seismic and well data, as well as integrated information from third party drilling activity to study the possibility for long range hydrocarbon migration to the Zamba prospect.
TRIPOLI, Libya (Bloomberg) -- OPEC needs to reduce crude output by at least 500,000 bpd, Libya’s governor to the group said, the first time since prices plunged into a bear market that a representative from a member nation has suggested how much production should be cut. Oil markets are oversupplied by about 1 MMbpd, Samir Kamal, Libya’s OPEC governor, said by email Oct. 22. His comments reflected personal views, not the official Libyan position, he said. Libya shouldn’t be expected to reduce its own oil output because the country is still struggling to restore production that has been disrupted for more than a year by political conflict, he said.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (Bloomberg) -- South Africa may split rules for the nascent oil and gas industry from its amended mining laws should the government find the regulations are at odds with the constitution, the mineral resources minister said. The government is testing whether the changes to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act are constitutional after they were passed by Parliament earlier this year. There are “interesting opinions in that regard,” Ngoako Ramatlhodi told reporters in Johannesburg Oct. 8. Oil, gas and mining “are different animals, therefore justifying different sorts of rules,” he said.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Bloomberg) -- Angola, Africa’s biggest oil producer after Nigeria, plans to increase output to 2 MMbpd by 2017, according to Finance Minister Armando Manuel. That would be two years behind an earlier target. Angola will budget next year for oil prices from $88 to $92/bbl, said Manuel, who is urging the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to take steps to avoid more declines. Brent is down 16% this year in London, the most since a 51% drop in 2008.

LONDON (Bloomberg) -- BG Group and its partners discovered natural gas at a well off Tanzania, adding reserves for a planned export plant in the East African country. The Kamba-1 well in Tanzania’s block 4 found 1.03 Tcf of gas, according to a statement from Ophir Energy Plc, which holds a 20% interest in the block. That’s probably enough to justify a third production unit at a proposed gas-export plant, it said.
LONDON (Bloomberg) -- Afren Plc shares rose the most in six weeks in London trading after the UK explorer said it sees no evidence of further improper payments. Afren, which operates in Nigeria and Kurdistan, is undergoing an independent review by law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP after its CEO and three senior managers were suspended in July and August for allegedly receiving unauthorized payments.
