For the first time in weeks, Somalia-based news outlets are buzzing with talk of oil. Among the first was Raxanreeb Broadcast Channel (RBC), which also had its own reporters present at the spudding of the Shabeel-1 well, and produced some of the very first pictures of the well in January.
Today, Somali news sites reported that an Africa Oil employee, one unfamiliar with our own contacts in the Bari Province, stated that a positive oil discovery had been made in the highly-prospective Shabeel-1 Well in the Dharoor Valley Basin of Somalai’s Puntland State, and that a minerals report was due soon.
It is unclear whether these reports can be categorized as consort rumors or hyphen leaks, but the frequency of related stories is worth noting.
