Cityview have not specifically mentioned the Sonangol blocks and from that list it is clear that Cityview is not being considered as a stand alone tenderer.

From the Cityview website...
ONSHORE OIL PERMITS

"A joint venture application has been filed by CityView and its Angolan partners for onshore oil permits in the middle of the Kwanza Basin.

The Kwanza Basin shares the same oil rich structural history and sedimentation pattern, including salt tectonism and turbidite fan development as other successful West African Basin oil projects, particularly the productive Lower Congo Basin to the North. Potential for a major oil discovery lies in the active rift sequence sediments underlying the Aptian salt. A recent billion barrel discovery has been made in equivalent active rift sediments onshore at MBoundi in the neighbouring South Congo Basin.

Nexoil is a leading Angolan business house and is responsible for the processing of the documentation from Sonangol, the State Oil Company of Angola."

Nexoil is not listed but is only responsible for the paperwork.

Does anyone know who the "Angolan Partners" are??

We could post a list and take bets on which company is teaming with Cityview.
