LONDON (AFX) – The Royal Dutch/Shell Group said it found “light” oil at an exploration well it drilled in Gabon, West Africa.
Analysis of the well, known as Awokou-1, had indicated a “29-metre oil column in the Gamba sandstone with no gas cap in the drilled formation,” it said.
Shell, the operator, and partner PanOcean Energy Corp are now considering further appraisal and development work on the field.
A second well is to be drilled this month, Shell said.
Awokou-1 is located on the Koula prospect which is close to two oil producing fields — Total/Shell’s Avocette and PanOcean’s Obangue.
Shell and PanOcean each have a 50 pct interest in the well.

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.
