(1888PressRelease) October 18, 2012 - Akaishi Global has a 47.222% interest in the OCP license, GEDPL 37.778%, and state company GNPC 15.0%, with a back-in option for an additional 5.0%.

The discovery well, which was drilled some 50 km offshore in 825 meters of water, reached a total depth of 3,650 m and encountered a 76 m gross oil-bearing interval of in Cenomanian sandstones. During production testing the well flowed dry 30°API oil at a facilities-constrained rate of 5,000 bpd. The oil discovered is not connected to the gas and condensate discovered in either Sankofa or Gye Nyame. The OCP joint venture is now planning an immediate appraisal program to delineate the oil discovery and assess its commercial viability.

Oil reserves are primarily a measure of geological risk - of the probability of oil existing and being producible under current economic conditions using current technology. The three categories of reserves generally used are proven, probable, and possible reserves.

Proven reserves - defined as oil and gas "Reasonably Certain" to be producible using current technology at current prices, with current commercial terms and government consent- also known in the industry as 1P.

Probable reserves - defined as oil and gas "Reasonably Probable" of being produced using current or likely technology at current prices, with current commercial terms and government consent. This is also known in the industry as 2P or Proven plus probable.

Possible reserves - i.e. "having a chance of being developed under favorable circumstances" - Some industry specialists refer to this as P10. This is also known in the industry as 3P or Proven plus probable plus possible

Bruce Peterson, President of the Akaishi Global Development Department, commenting on the discovery, said:"We are delighted to have made an oil discovery on the OCP block, which now needs further appraisal and represents an important new opportunity for Akaishi Global' business. This has been an exciting year for the OCP joint venture, with a successful drilling campaign and substantial progress made on plans for exploitation of the OCTP gas. Our focus is to progress the rapid development of the gas discoveries."
