Oil & Gas Journal: Shell, PanOcean announce oil discovery AWOKOU-1 on Awoun permit in Gabon
By OGJ editors
HOUSTON, Sept. 8 — Shell Gabon, operator of the Koula prospect in the onshore Awoun permit in Gabon, West Africa, discovered light oil with its exploration well AWOKOU-1. The well is 8 km north of the Total ASA-Shell producing Avocette field and 5 km northwest of PanOcean’s producing Obangue field onshore, West Africa.
Pan-Ocean Energy Corp. Ltd., St. Helier, Jersey, UK, is Shell’s 40:40 coventurer, with Gabon taking a 20% back-in interest.
The Simpler 101 rig drilled the AWOKOU-1 well to 1,926 m TD. The first of a two-well exploration campaign on the permit, AWOKOU-1 found and logged oil in thick Gamba sandstone. The second exploration well, AWODAM-1, will be drilled in October, about 3 km southwest of AWOKOU-1.
AWOKOU-1 currently is being suspended at the 9 5/8-in. casing, and the rig will move to PanOcean’s 100%-owned Maghena property, where it will spud a second well, TST-2, on the Tsiengui prospect.
An appraisal of AWOKOU-1 could be drilled as the sixth well in the program sequence around yearend.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
