The JDZ lies approximately 200 km. offshore Nigeria and is adjacent to areas offshore Nigeria where several large petroleum discoveries have been made. The JDZ was established in 2001 following ratification of a formal bilateral treaty between Nigeria and Sao Tome and Principe. The JDZ is administered by the Joint Development Authority.

This Board will be specifically limited to oil/gas companies that operate in the JDZ, Nigeria, and Sao Tome e Principe. Obo-1 has recently been drilled by Chevron with a 51 percent stake, along with partner ExxonMobil with a 40 percent equity holding, and Dangote Energy Equity Resources holding the remaining balance. ERHC Energy, Inc. has Production Sharing Contracts in JDZ Blocks, 2, 3, and 4. Some other companies include: Afren, Addax Petroleum, A & Hartman, Centurion Energy, Equator, Foby Engineering, Hercules, Hyperdynamics Corp., MoMo Petroleum, ONGC Videsh Ltd., Pioneer, SNP -- China Petroleum & Chemical Corp., and Oriental Energy. It is very likely the list will grow!

This is the TDI-Brooks' 06-27-03 JDZ Piston Core & Heatflow map. For more info look up 2003 Nigeria São Tomé & Príncipe JDZ Consortium Program at: http://www.tdi-bi.com/our_programs/west_africa/west-africa_main.htm



Deepwater Discovery per RIG update March 31, 2006 is under contract until Aug-06 at $165K USD Dayrate with client CVX who has recently reported successful drilling in 1,720 meters of water in Block 1 in the JDZ. The area is thought to hold billions of barrels of oil. Oilphant can been seen in the background trying to chase her down as she's underway to drill the next hole.


Deepwater Pathfinder is looking alot like Deepwater Discovery.

Aban Abraham is looking like the real deal to begin drilling up to 5 firm and 5 optional wells at a $410,000 max daily rate.
