Africa Oil ( (TSE:AOI) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Africa Oil Corp. announced an operational update regarding the Marula-1X drilling operation on Block 2913B, offshore Namibia. The well, drilled to a depth of 6,460 meters, did not encounter hydrocarbons in its primary target, and no drill stem test was performed. The company is conducting a comprehensive analysis of the results. Despite the lack of immediate success, the farm-down agreement with TotalEnergies allows Impact Oil & Gas, in which Africa Oil holds a stake, to explore and develop these blocks without upfront costs, presenting opportunities to test different geological plays.
