In the previous most recent CPR commissioned by our then Operator Africa Energy for year end 2016, the gross mid case was 184 million barrels. Which means that the net best estimate attributable to Crown Energy has increased from 18 to 49 million barrels.

 

“This is another positive step forward for Block 2B, where we look forward to the Gazania-1 well being drilled by the contracted Island Innovator semi-submersible drilling rig by the end of the third quarter of 2022,” says Yoav Ben-Eli, CEO of Crown Energy AB.

 

Crown Energy AB holds a 10% interest in Block 2B offshore South Africa, fully carried for this well. Africa Energy has a 27.5% participating interest in the Block. The Block is operated by Azinam, which holds a 50% participating interest. A subsidiary of Panoro Energy ASA holds a 12.5% participating interest.
