We recently held our "Your Business in Africa" seminar at our London office.
The presenters spoke of their experiences of the trend for increasing investment in the energy sector in Africa, the challenges faced by the sector currently, and challenges for the future, and also about where they saw Africa placed in 10 years time, against other oil & gas provinces.

8. studies:
Case studies Lekoil Limited
Deal type: AIM IPO of Lekoil Limited (“Lekoil” or the “Company”), co-terminous with the completion of a
significant acquisition
Deal size: Total fundraise of US$50 million resulting in a market capitalisation of approximately US$110 million
on admission to AIM
In early 2013, Strand Hanson was engaged by Lekoil, the oil & gas company established to acquire assets in subSaharan Africa and in particular Nigeria, to advise on the acquisition of an ultimate 30 per cent. economic interest
in OPL310, offshore Nigeria from Afren PLC and simultaneous admission to trading on AIM. OPL310 is an early
stage Nigerian oil & gas asset, located in the Dahomey-Benin Basin, with significant potential. Admission to trading
on AIM occurred in mid-May 2013.
Strand Hanson acted as nominated and financial adviser to Lekoil and worked alongside Mirabaud Securities LLP and
Revere Securities Corp., the company’s Broker and US placing Agent, to co-ordinate the largest H1 2013 AIM IPO,
overcoming the challenges faced by a multi-jurisdictional transaction and significantly raising the profile of AIM in
one of Africa’s rapidly growing and resource rich economies.
Following the announcement of positive drilling results on OPL310, and the intention to acquire a 6.502 per cent.
participating interest in the adjacent block OML113, Lekoil successfully raised a further US$20 million in July
2013 to progress its drilling programme.
Despite the complex jurisdictional issues, the listing was completed on an accelerated basis in order to secure the
acquisition prior to the commencement of drilling on OPL310.
9. studies
Case studies: Sirius Petroleum PLC
Deal type: Introduction to Sirius Petroleum PLC (“Sirius” or the “Company”) of a prepayment facility and
exclusivity off-take agreement with Glencore Energy (UK) Limited (“Glencore”)
Deal size: $65 million
Sirius has an interest in a previously producing OPL, shallow off-shore Nigeria, in addition to options to acquire
interests in two further OMLs.
The Company planned to undertake work to recommence production of its existing asset and exercise the options
that it has. In May 2013, Sirius entered into an agreement to funding from Glencore, such that it could achieve its
short term objectives and further, to guarantee a market for the oil it produces in the future.

28. Angola – Energy Market - Background
− Onshore drilling for oil began in 1915;
− First commercial discovery in the Cuanza Basin in 1955;
− Angola is now the second biggest oil producer in Sub-Saharan Africa;
− The Angolan government, through the public concessionaire (Sonangol),
has granted rights to conduct petroleum operations in relation to 33/34
blocks to companies including BP, Chevron, Eni, Exxon, Statoil and Total;
− The country’s first LNG plant is already being developed near Soyo;
− The downstream sector – refinery and distribution of the products derived
from crude oil – remains underdeveloped;
− Recent deals entered into in relation to the pre-salt blocks in the Kwanza
Basin - hopes that the Angola pre-salt will bring exploration success to
match that in Brazil;
29. Angola – The latest in the Energy Market
OIL GAS
− Sonangol recently announced that is expected later this year and during the
year of 2014, the completion of an onshore licensing round for oil
exploration blocks in Kwanza and Lower Congo Basins;
− 10 new blocks will be tendered;
− Specific legislation for such types of operations has been enacted;
− Preferable treatment and great incentives for Angolan companies may be
adopted – good opportunity for partnerships with local companies;
− 2 million barrels of oil a day by 2015 are expected;
30. Angola – The latest in the Energy Market
RENEWABLE ENERGY

30 million litres of ethanol per year capacity addition announced;
−
Eaglestone NV (financial services platform and an international private
equity business) intends to invest as much as 40% of a planned 100-million
