much ado about puntland- cover up?

Why the cover up? Was a huge discovery made before Conoco made a hasty dash out of Somalia?

{Gulf Surveys of Yemen who were

involved back in 2006 for Puntland Gov.

SEISMIC LINE MARKING THE PROPOSED WELL LOCATION

KALIS 28G-1 PUNTLAND, SOMALI.


CONOCO was forced to leave their investments behind and they managed to wipe out any traces of progressed work in Somalia. The well locations positions were not known by the Puntland Government (Ex. Somalia) and in year 2006, Puntland Government requested Gulf Surveys Yemen to locate the position of the drilled well locations, survey 2 new exploration wells, and find the traces of Seismic lines.

Why would CONOCO wipe out any traces of progressed work in Puntland ? }



ARTICLE 2006 (Conoco-The discovery they forgot!)
{ It said log analysis of Nogal-1 by Conoco during drilling indicated three zones in the Gumburo Formation with potential for commercially producible oil.

Range said although the well did not reach the primary reservoir target, it should be classified as an oil discovery.}
