I worked on the project team that delivered Ghana's first FPSO Jubilee in 2009 / 2010. As part of my job I had to deal with the senior executives from the project partners Tullow Oil / Anadarko / Kosmos etc. Any way at the time the Tullow exploration manager Angus I forget his last name had a theory that oil deposits were mirrored across continental plates when the continents seperated. So if you found an oil deposit in say offshore Ghana on the other side of the continental plate in South America there could be similar oil deposits with similar characteristics geology. They used to have a diagram explaining this where they showed South America and Africa joined together. Looks like Conjugate has copied this diagram or concept on their website off Tullow who used a very similar image to promote their mirroring exploration theory. It really has no basis for applicability to oil exploration in Uganda though. What is more important is the nearby discoveries along the lake rather than suggesting that this is a mirroring type exploration play.
