Company Statement

Chariot Oil and Gas Limited (AIM: CHAR) is an independent oil and gas exploration company with interests in Namibia.

Chariot has highly prospective licences in Namibia – strategically positioned within the South Atlantic Margins. All of these blocks are in the exploration phase and seismic programmes have been completed across all of Chariot’s eight offshore blocks. Chariot received early stage third party endorsement of Namibia's prospectivity and potential following a farm-out to Petrobras in May 2009. 


Operations and Technology

Overview
Key highlights:

  • Four licences covering eight offshore blocks in Namibia in three geologically distinct basin
  • Licences of strategic interest: 
    - In counterpart margin to highly prospective province offshore Brazil and south of prolific basins offshore Angola
  • Close proximity of oil, natural gas and condensate accumulations with oil seepage slicks indicating a working petroleum system
  • Renewed West Africa interest
  • One prospect and 25 leads identified in Chariot's licences areas to date - gross unrisked mean prospective resources of 8.5bbbls 
  • Deep water exploration - underexplored with only 9 exploration wells drilled across the entire Namibian margin to date
  • Farm-out agreed with Petrobras on one of eight exploration blocks, 2714A, offshore southern Namibia
  • Further farm-out opportunities are being pursued as Chariot looks to further mitigate risk and expedite exploration and development
  • Looking to introduce nearer term assets in order to balance risk profile and generate earlier cashflows
  • Significantly exceeded its Initial Exploration Phase commitments and as a result has been able to extend licence terms on blocks 1811A&B and 2714B
