Africa Oil ( (TSE:AOI) ) has issued an update.

Africa Oil Corp. announced an operational update on the Marula-1X drilling operation in Block 2913B, offshore Namibia, where no hydrocarbons were found in the primary target. Despite this, the company remains optimistic due to a farm down agreement with TotalEnergies, which covers exploration and development costs on these blocks, allowing Africa Oil to explore different geological plays without upfront expenses. This strategic move could enhance the company’s exploration potential and industry positioning in the Orange Basin.
