Worth highlighting as it shows that interest in VOG in Cameroon/Africa is growing:

VOG Sees Flow Rates to Bassa Power Station Rise
Wednesday, April 22, 2015

Victoria Oil & Gas’ wholly owned subsidiary, Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), saw its production rates feeding the Bassa power station rise to 9.4 Mmscf/d on a seven-day average basis. This production rate marks a 114% increase from the beginning of 2015 on a seven-day weekly average basis.

The Bassa Power station is supplied with gas under an agreement signed with ENEO Cameroon, a company partly owned and operated by UK-based Actis and the state power company in Cameroon. GDC is responsible for supplying gas to both the Bassa and Logbaba power stations, where electricity is generated from gas-fired electricity generation sets (gensets).

Under the terms signed with ENEO, minimum take or pay elements come on-line guaranteeing fixed levels of revenue for the company, once 20MW of power is made available at Bassa and 50MW of power is made available at both Bassa and Logbaba power stations. A maximum combined power generation of approximately 5MW equates to 10.1 Mmscf/d of gas with the minimum take-or-pay terms requiring payment for 90% of this during the dry season and 30% in the wet season, at a fixed price of $9/mmbtu. Take-or-pay obligations have been satisfied at the Bassa Power Station, following consistent generation of 20MW of power.

The completion of the Logbaba power station has now entered its final phase, with all remaining Gensets released from customs and being installed by Altaaqa. The installation is expected to be completed soon and Logbaba will thereafter meet its 30MW supply target (6.06 Mmscf/d).

I think Kevin Foo/advisors need a medal as it's the first time I've seen a company turn the day trader Bulletin Board posters (iii,LSE & advfn) into investors or at the very least caught them off guard!

VOG appear to be in complete control of raising the share price to at least their Broker's view of 102p in reflecting the value now.

The potential value that Numis will be detailing to the institutional
fund managers and hedge funds and the price that they will have to buy in must be well over 200p,imo.

Victoria Oil & Gas Plc

("VOG" or "the Company")

ENEO's Logbaba Power Station Online and Production Increase

Highlights

· Logbaba online and delivering 30MW to grid

· Bassa and Logbaba now delivering a total of 50MW to grid

· Average daily gas production since 50MW online is 14.5mmscf/d


Victoria Oil & Gas Plc announces that its 100% owned subsidiary, Gaz du Cameroun S.A. ("GDC"), has commenced supply of gas to the Logbaba power station following successful installation of all gas fired electricity generators by Altaaqa Global ("Altaaqa"). 30MW of power is now being generated at Logbaba as per the contract with ENEO Cameroun S.A. ("ENEO") announced on 29 December 2014.

The supply from Logbaba, coupled with the previously announced 20MW to Bassa power station, meets the 50 MW target and GDC's responsibilities to deliver gas to both stations has now been met. This triggers take or pay conditions in the contract with ENEO. The total project was delivered in less than four months since the contract was signed.


Average gas production since the 50MW has been online is 14.5mmscf/d with a daily peak of 15.3mmscf/d.


Kevin Foo, Executive Chairman, said: "From contract signing to delivery of 50MW to the grid in less than four months is an outstanding example of how the project partners ENEO, Altaaqa and GDC have made this happen. Average production levels have risen to 14.5mmscf/d, three times higher than levels at the end of 2014, which underlines this transformational agreement for VOG and give us confidence GDC can meet its average production target of 10.4mmscf/d for calendar year 2015."

Victoria Oil production triples as new power stations come on line
By Philip Whiterow
April 23 2015, 7:41am

Victoria Oil & Gas (LON:VOG) has switched on the second of two power stations it has built recently in Douala in Cameroon.

The stations, Logbaba and Bassa, are now supplying 50Mw of electricity to the local grid using gas supplied from Victoria Oil & Gas’ 60% owned Logbaba field.

Subsidiary Gaz Du Cameroun (GDC) has a two–year deal with local electricity supplier ENEO to supply gas for the stations at a fixed price of US$9/mmbtu.

With the gas supplied to the two stations, average gas production from the Logbaba field has now tripled to an average 14.5mmscf/d with a daily peak of 15.3mmscf/d.

Kevin Foo, executive chairman, hailed the commissioning of the Logbaba station, adding that to get the two plants up and running in less than four months was an outstanding example of co-operation between the partners ENEO, generator supplier Altaaqa and GDC.

“Average production levels have risen to 14.5mmscf/d, three times higher than levels at the end of 2014, which underlines this transformational agreement for VOG and give us confidence GDC can meet its average production target of 10.4mmscf/d for calendar year 2015," he added.

Victoria Oil and Gas (LON:VOG) Cash Flow Positive Ahead

The commissioning of the Bassa and Logbaba power stations marks a significant watershed for the Company in as in our estimates that it has crossed the point at which the Company is cash flow positive.

This is not to be sniffed at, as it means that the Company is now in charge of its own future, and following a period of consolidation in which its cash resources can be rebuilt, it can start to make longer term plans as to what to do next, whether to continue its reach in to the mid and downstream, or whether it wants to expand in the upstream.

We believe that investors should be increasingly happy with the way in which the Company is progressing, and should start to look for ways in which to fully unlock the value that has been created in the midstream business by splitting the upstream and downstream businesses.

Victoria Oil & Gas
Posted on 23 April 2015

Final news today that the Logbaba power station is online and delivering 30 MW of power to the grid. Along with Bassa that means that 50 MW are being delivered in line with expectations and pretty much on time. Average daily gas production is now 14.5 mmscf/d with a peak of 15.3 mmscf/d. The long term target is 10.4 mmscf/d bearing in mind volumes change due to the seasons. The shares are up again today and have doubled since the December low, whilst this is no mean feat it is not undeserved and the company will be profitable in 2015 with significant further opportunities in country. I remain resolutely positive on VOG despite the recent run.

Temporary power complements conventional, renewable power
Published 24 Apr 15
By: Mia Breytenbach

GENERATION BOOST Temporary power plants can assist other energy sources while these sources are being enhanced to better serve Southern Africa

Electrical energy provided by temporary power plants can boost the electricity generation of not only conventional power sources as they are being maintained or constructed, but also renewable-energy sources as they are being stabilised and enhanced.

There is, therefore, substantial potential for the temporary power industry to provide electricity generation in Southern Africa, affirms temporary solutions provider Altaaqa Global.

Subsequently, there is an aggressive drive in the region to refurbish conventional or permanent power plants and to construct renewable power sources in key areas, highlights Altaaqa Global CAT Rental Power marketing manager Robert Bagatsing.

He adds that temporary power plants can assist other energy sources while these sources are being enhanced to better serve Southern Africa, further pointing out that permanent, or conventional, power plants might take decades to construct and commission, owing to the many details and stages involved.

“As Southern Africa progresses into economic stability, with maintained buoyancy, the different sources of energy, be it temporary, renewable or conventional, will play a role in the region’s development and growth.”

Bagatsing also highlights that temporary power plants can be used in various situations, such as during planned or unplanned shutdowns of permanent power plants, natural disasters, unforeseen demand spikes, grid optimisation, load-shedding, rural electrification and the enhancement of renewable power sources, as well as peak lopping.

Use is made of an additional power source in synchronisation with a mains power supply to deliver enough power to meet peak demand that cannot be met by the mains supply. Moreover, temporary large-scale power plants can be used for several months to avoid power interruptions and to ensure that critical areas, such as airports, data centres or hospitals, have electricity supply.

Ecofriendly Electricity

Altaaqa Global is working on a project in Douala, Cameroon, which involves generators running on ecofriendly, natural gas. The company is using equipment that is cost efficient and environment friendly for the natural gas temporary power plant, Bagatsing says.

The project, which is being completed in collaboration with Cameroon’s power utility company Eneo, power generator gas provider Gaz du Cameroun and its parent company African energy supplier Victoria Oil & Gas, involves the construction of two rental power plants. Once completed, the power plants will provide a sustainable and reliable source of electricity for the country, he says.

Bagatsing further highlights one of Altaaqa Global’s ecofriendly offerings, which is the XQ1475G power generator, and which uses a G3516C island-mode, compact and four-stroke-cycle gas engine.

“These generators meet most worldwide emission requirements, which require 250 mg/Nm3 of mononitrogen oxides, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide levels without aftertreatment. The equipment is perfect for projects where low emissions, a fast setup and reliable operation are critical,” Bagatsing stresses.

He adds that, through its work with fuel suppliers and power companies in various countries, Altaaqa Global presents a business case model for all power utilities in Africa, which Bagatsing believes is a viable solution with significant socioeconomic impact.

He further emphasises clients’ need for equipment efficiency, reliability and durability, noting their keenness for the environment-friendly qualities of the natural-powered generators. Clients also scout for providers that offer real-time after-sales service.

“Moreover, because one of the foremost problems facing remote areas is the lack of power transmission and distribution infrastructure, Altaaqa Global concentrates its research and development (R&D) efforts on developing products that mitigate this challenge.

“As a result, no matter how far-flung an area is, regardless of power infrastructure being present or absent, Altaaqa Global can provide the appropriate solution,” Bagatsing states.

He adds that, as the drive for electrification, operational flexibility and environmental stewardship becomes more challenging, Altaaqa Global has also concentrated its R&D efforts on creating products that will set new standards in the energy industry.

These include the fleet power generators that can connect directly to the grid and do not need substations, and flexible power solutions to support the baseload, as well as intermediate, peak or standby power generation.

“We can change the operational mode from island mode to grid mode to standby power mode, and we can provide generators that operate on gas and dual fuel, comprising 70% gas and 30% diesel,” Bagatsing concludes.

Victoria Oil & Gas (LON:VOG) – Speculative Buy

Yesterday, Victoria Oil & Gas informed that its wholly owned subsidiary, Gaz du Cameroun had commenced gas supply to the Logbaba power station, after Altaaqa Global installed the all gas fired electricity generators. As a result, the Logbaba is now producing 30MW power, in line with the contract with ENEO Cameroun on 29th December 2014. The additional supply along with the earlier supply of 20MW by the Bassa power station, meets the 50MW target and the GDC’s responsibilities to deliver gas to both stations as per the contract with ENEO. The project was delivered within four months of signing the contract and the current average gas production stands at 14.5 million cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d), with a daily peak of 15.3 5mmscf/d.

Our view: The commencement of gas supply to the Logbaba power plant marks the achievement of an important milestone for the company. More importantly, the company achieved this feat in less than four months and attained an average production level of 14.5mmscf/d that underscores our confidence in its ability to meets the target production rate of 10.4mmscf/d in 2015. In December, the company had signed a major gas sales agreement with ENEO Cameroon to supply gas at the two power stations for US$9 per million British thermal Unit. While the supply contracts may not aggregate to a significant amount, they do ensure a stable long-term revenue stream. The company has displayed a disciplined approach in achieving the feat while working within strict timelines. Going forward, we believe that the company stands a good change to become the partner of choice for nearby operators as it seeks additional new customers. Thus, in view of the overall optimism, we reiterate our Speculative Buy rating.

Clean Energy At Logbaba Gas Plant For Diverse Industrial Use
27 Avril 2015

Some 28 industries are already using the gas with over 50 others said to have shown interest.

Since inauguration on November 15, 2013 by President Paul Biya, the first-ever trial onshore gas production in Cameroon is today feeding some 28 industries in Douala with clean energy for diverse industrial uses.

Speaking to members of the Pipeline Steering and Monitoring Committee of the National Hydrocarbons Corporation in a visit to the site on Thursday April 23, officials of the Logbaba natural gas field in the Ndogpassi neigbourhood, Douala III Subdivision, Wouri Division of the Littoral Region said the plant is waxing very strong.


According to Divine Diboto Mofa, Production Manager of Gaz Du Cameroun, since July 2012 that industries for the first time in Cameroon operated their burners with natural gas, production has increased likewise the number of customers. Start off production was in the neigbourhood of 2.5 million cubic feet daily and supplied some 18 big companies within and without Douala at inauguration with clean, cost-effective, available and environment-friendly gas. But today, gas production in the Logbaba plant averages 15-16 million standard cubic feet a day.

Users, Uses of the Natural Gas

Some of the industries using the natural gas include Brasseries du Cameroun, Guinness, SCBC Ndokoti and Kumasi, UCB, Eneo Bassa and Logbaba among others for their heating purposes. Also, the plant provides a stabilized condensate to the Limbe-based National Oil Refinery, SONARA, to increase its productivity and give quantity and quality petroleum products to the country. According to Divine Diboto Mofa, “gas is used in two applications notably thermal and power applications. Our thermal customers use the natural gas to generate steam to run their different plants while the power customers use gas to fire up their generators and for electricity.” He said SONARA is referred to as the 29th customer. “SONARA doesn’t use gas; it uses the condensate that is the byproduct of what we produce from the gas plant. Sometimes the condensate can be mixed with crude oil, I believe, to increase its level. Meanwhile, Eneo uses the gas to generate electricity,” the Production Manager added.

The Pipeline Steering and Monitoring Committee members were taken through the entire process from when the gas is extracted from two wells, pumped from the bottom of the earth into the circuit of the modern and efficient processing centre, whose facilities are powered with part of the gas produced. They were also briefed on how the extracted gas is separated from impurities before being piped to the various destinations. Led by Jean Fouman Akame, member of Pipeline Steering and Monitoring Committee and representative of the Presidency of the Republic, the team also visited Chococam to see how the gas is used in the industry. To date, Chococam, officials said, spends over FCFA 30 million monthly on the gas which they added is efficient for their boilers and helps to reduce waste in course of processing than was the case with fuel oil. Mr Fouman Akame saluted the evolution of the innovation and the push it is giving to the socio-economic life of the nation.

The imposing gas plant was constructed thanks to partnership between the National Hydrocarbons Corporation (NHC) and a British firm, Victoria Oil & Gas, through its subsidiary, Rodeo Development Limited (now Gaz du Cameroun).

Gas Cameroon will drill two new wells on the gas field in the period 2015-2016 Logbaba
Thursday, 30 April 2015

Over the period 2015-2016, Gaz of Cameroon (GOC) plans to increase production by drilling two new wells on the Logbaba gas field, which was developed in the suburbs of the city of Douala in his house -Mother, the British oil and gas operator Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG). According to Henri Serge Job, Business Development Director at GDC, the first drilling will occur towards the end of this year 2015, while the second will be in 2016.

Although Mr. Job reveals neither the amount of the investment, or the proportion of the increased production qu'induira these two new boreholes, the Business Development Director of GDC specifies that these investments will enable the company to meet demand for natural gas increasingly important industrial companies of the Cameroonian economic capital.

Indeed, 16 companies at the time of the official opening of the treatment plant of Logbaba natural gas in November 2013, the number of companies that run their natural gas boilers reached our days 28. In addition, we learn GDC, fifty other companies are currently negotiating with the gas operator for supplies.

Furthermore, said Serge Henri Job, GDC is currently negotiating with the National Hydrocarbons Corporation (SNH), the armed wing of the Cameroon government in the oil and gas sector, to produce the compressed gas which could then be transported au Beyond the city of Douala, and thus supply companies located in other cities in Cameroon.

Victoria Oil & Gas hits “watershed” 50MW target in Cameroon
May 1, 2015

victoriacameroon-700x357.jpg

After a number of slow years as it battled the realities of building a gas-based infrastructure from scratch in Cameroon, momentum is really building at Victoria Oil & Gas, with the shares having surged more than 100 per cent since early December. The AIM-quoted company has been steadily building supplies from its Logbaba gas-condensate field to the industrial port city of Douala. Industrial customers are supplied with gas via a 31.3 km pipeline network built by VOG’s 100 per cent owned subsidiary Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), offering heavy end-users a more reliable, cheaper and cleaner source of energy than the alternatives, such as expensive heavy fuel oil or seasonal hydroelectricity.

The last four months, however, have seen an acceleration in the roll-out of VOG’s strategy as it worked to meet the terms of a new 50 MW gas-to-power deal with local partners, an agreement that executive chairman Kevin Foo rightly called “game-changing”. Last week, the London company hit this target when it began supplying the 30 MW Logbaba power station under the contract with ENEO Cameroun.

This, plus the recently announced 20 MW to Bassa power station, meets the 50 MW target of VOG’s deal with ENEO, triggering take-or-pay conditions in the contract. That deal, signed at the end of 2014, saw VOG commit to supply gas to generate 50 MW, which draws on 10.1 million cf/d of gas, of which the minimum take or pay component is 90 per cent in the dry season and 30 per cent in the wet season. Since the 50 MW came online, production from the field has averaged 14.5 million cf/d, with a daily peak of 15.3 million cf/d. Under the terms of the contract, the gas sells at a fixed price of US$9/mmbtu.

Foo pointed out it had taken less than four months to get from contract signing to delivery of 50MW to the grid. “Average production levels have risen to 14.5 million cf/d, three times higher than levels at the end of 2014, which underlines this transformational agreement for VOG and give us confidence GDC can meet its average production target of 10.4 million cf/d for calendar year 2015,” he said.

This is important – in the past VOG serially missed its production targets – and not just for the turned-around AIM company; it is also a significant milestone for Cameroon’s economic development, which has been hamstrung by a significant power deficit.

Analysts at SP Angel Corporate Finance said last week’s 50 MW goal marked a “significant watershed” for the company, which now looks to be cash flow positive. “This is not to be sniffed at, as it means that the Company is now in charge of its own future,” said the analysts, noting that after a period of consolidation and cash-build it may be time to look at ways to unlock the value in the midstream business by splitting the upstream and downstream businesses.
