ConocoPhillips it seems have never said die: they have never relinquishde their title to the rights.
$150m spent comes at a cost, no one just walks away from that kind of money.
AOI has been approached by Conoco and its only just been made public! Have Range been approached????

"Title and Licence Risks
Uncertainty of Title
Although Africa Oil conducts title reviews prior to acquiring an interest in a concession, such reviews do not
guarantee or certify that an unforeseen defect in the chain of title will not arise that may call into question Africa Oil’s interest in the concession. Any uncertainty with respect to one or more of Africa Oil’s concession interests could have a material adverse effect on Africa Oil’s business, prospects and results of operations.
In November 2007 the Corporation was advised that ConocoPhillips, which entity had previously engaged in oil and gas exploration in the Nogal and Dharoor Valleys, was claiming a continued interest in certain of the concessions that comprise the blocks in which the Corporation has the right to acquire an 80% interest.
ConocoPhillips stated that its interests have not been terminated by the Somali Democratic Republic and have not been relinquished by ConocoPhillips.
The Corporation disputes ConocoPhillip’s position in respect of this matter, however, if ConocoPhillips chooses to pursue its claims, the outcome of a dispute or lawsuit cannot be predicted with any certainty."
