shags, you are reading too much into this...

'gem of a deal' refers to tap keeping their eyes peeled for anything that pops up that they will bid for...

i heard the ceo say so himself.
african acreage was mentioned in recent corporate file q&a

"In addition to SE Asia, we will also consider other areas such as Africa because of Tap’s management experience, but if we do go there it will only be for a low risk, high impact opportunity. It would be risky to take the Company to places where we have limited knowledge about the petroleum systems or regulatory environment."
