In The Media Translated via google: The British VOG is moving towards the signing of a gas supply contract in South West Cameroon Wednesday, February 05 2020 (Investing in Cameroon) - Bowleven, a British oil and gas operator, co-owner at 25% of the exploration license on the Etinde field, in the Cameroonian offshore, announced on February 5, 2020 the signing of a " letter of non-binding intention ”between his compatriots New Age (who controls 37.5% of the Etinde license, in the same way as the Russian Lukoil) and Victoria Oil & Gas Plc (VOG). This letter, in force until March 31, 2021 at the latest, we officially learned, is preparatory to the conclusion of a final contract for the supply of gas from the Etinde block, with an area of ​​2,316 km 2 , in the South West region of Cameroon. Concretely, explains Bowleven, " the letter of intent provides that New Age will supply treated gas to Gaz du Cameroun SA (GDC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOG ". These deliveries will be made to Limbé, a tourist town in the Southwest region of Cameroon which also houses the only oil refinery in Cameroon (Sonara). GDC will then transport the gas to Douala, the Cameroonian economic capital, where the company has a natural gas processing unit. In the event of a definitive agreement, the contract between VOG and New Age will have a duration of 20 years, from the date of signature, and will require New Age to supply a minimum of 25 mmscf of gas per day to GDC, during the first three years. The quantities will then be brought to a minimum of 30 mmscf of gas per day. Additional research " As we strive to make a final investment decision on Etinde this year, today’s announcement by VOG is a positive step toward reconfirming the commercialization of the license, " said Eli Chahin, CEO of Bowleven. Indeed, the contract that VOG and New Age could conclude for the supply of gas to the Etinde block is conditioned by the results of additional research expected this year. These, we learn, aim to indicate the true potential of this gas field, before making an investment decision on the part of the owners of the license. All the more so since the last exploration campaign conducted on this permit in 2019 was not successful, as Eli Chahin revealed to the Petroleum Economist, a specialized publication Oil & gas. However, this drilling was supposed to reveal huge gas deposits, based on preliminary results. But in spite of these not very promising results, and while waiting for the complementary works, Cameroon puts a lot of hope in the gas exploitation project on the Etinde block, to better benefit from the boom of the market of liquefied natural gas. This project does not exclude the possibility of installing a second natural gas liquefaction unit in the Southwest region, after that of Kribi, in the South region. Brice R. Mbodiam [link]

58 or 50? It would take too long but VOG, at the moment anyway, are still a going concern with the potential still there, it’s just taking much much longer than I anticipated! I was very angry this morning but calm now, always a high risk with AIM companies and especially in Africa and more so obviously in Cameroon! Lets see if we actually get positive news during H2, if not before: “GDC has commenced negotiations with multilateral and export credit agencies to fully debt finance this new pipeline project. The Parties are currently negotiating a fully termed GSA and subject to signing, anticipate a Final Investment Decision by the Parties on the project during H2 2020.”

Last Few Breaths of VOG Having first brought into VOG in 2011 when the share price was equivalent to £2.30 before they had their 40-1 consolidation, I have watched death by a thousand cuts. I finally sold up and took a hit in November last year when I got back 6.8p for them, I have continued to follow them to see if cutting my losses was the right decision and this last RNS has confirmed they are nothing more than a con for the BOD to line their own pockets. My advice to anyone left in is to sell up and cut your losses and this will eventually fail.

In The Media Victoria Oil & Gas highlights demand and new deals but fresh ENEO downtime dented Q4 gas sales Wed 05 Feb 2020 The AIM share dropped over 20% in Wednesday’s early deals as investors react to the latest ENEO related disruption Victoria Oil & Gas PLC (LON:VOG), as part of a trading update, has highlighted the signing of a new agreement to potentially secure long term gas supplies from the Etinde field. A non-binding letter of intent has been signed between the company’s Cameroon subsidiary Gaz du Cameroun (GDC) and New Age Cameroon Offshore Petroleum for some 25mln cubic feet of gas per day. “The opportunity to secure the long-term supply of gas from the Etinde license will be a major step for our company,” said Roger Kennedy, VOG chairman. GDC will access debt funding for the development of additional downstream pipeline infrastructure in order to unlock the Etinde gas. Logbaba field impacted by ENEO downtime Elsewhere, operations at the Logbaba gas field continue to be troubled by third-party factors tied to ENEO, which has been impacted due to Altaaqa - ENEO’s generator supplier - stopping operations at the Logbaba gas-fired power station because of non-payment. The stop occurred on 14 September and GDC has not supplied gas to the ENEO station since then, but, the company has continued to invoice ENEO under ‘take or pay’ provisions. To date, these dues amount to US$10.5mln and VOG said it expects to receive these payments in due course, and, it is “actively working” with the government to recover these payables. Gas supplies continued into other customers in the Duala region. VOG noted that GDC’s 57% share of Logbaba amounted to 244mln cubic feet of gas sales in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to 429mln in the preceding quarter. Similarly, condensate sales totalled 2,294 barrels in the fourth quarter, down from 3,071 barrels in the third quarter. VOG’s Duala operations were previously impacted due to a prior expiry of its supply deal and an extended pause in supply. “Demand remains strong” Outside of the ENEO issue, VOG’s Roger Kennedy emphasised that “demand for gas powered energy remains strong” in the Duala region, as evidenced by the Aksa Energy project. Aksa’s planned development of a new 150 megawatt gas-fired plant is “highly positive for the people and business community of Douala and for our company”, Kennedy noted. A non-binding term sheet has been signed with Aksa Energy which as a potential offtake partner would receive a long term gas supply from the company. Legacy issues addressed More broadly, Kennedy commented on the structural work that has been taking place within the VOG group. “We have spent the past eight months addressing legacy issues, cutting costs and exploring long-term strategies for the company to move away from its historical dilutive, capital intensive programmes to a strategy that we believe should deliver sustained profitability and generate shareholder value in the long term,” he said. Kennedy added: “Based on our review and work to date, we continue to refine our long-term business plan and vision. “We look forward to making further announcements reflecting these changes throughout 2020."

Last Few Breaths of VOG Best we can hope for at VOG now is a takeover by the Chinese. Can’t help but think that government interference has always stymied progress and reward for the long term shareholders who’ve suffered so much. Sadly a nightmare company to be invested in. Good Luck All.

In The Media Translated via Google: The electrician Eneo explains why he cannot pay his suppliers despite a profit of more than 11 billion FCFA in 2018 Tuesday, January 07, 2020 In a recent interview published by Eneo, Eric Mansuy, the new CEO of the Cameroonian subsidiary of the British Actis, explains why the electrician “ cannot pay its suppliers when its balance sheet establishes a profit more than 11 billion in 2018 ”. “ The balance sheet effectively establishes a profit. But, it is an accounting result. Cash, meanwhile, remains very tight. This translates into a cash flow problem due to the arrears accumulated by some of our large customers, mainly, "he said. In its 2018 annual report, Eneo points to the State as its largest debtor with a debt of nearly 39 billion FCFA including an unpaid 11 billion from the defunct Cameroonian water company (CDE) which it endorsed after the renationalization of the service distribution of drinking water. Large companies, such as Alucam (almost 6 billion) or Sonara (1.4 billion), were also among the insolvent. At the end of 2018, Eneo was even technically in a liquidity crisis. Its current assets (i.e. convertible into liquidity in less than 12 months) could only cover 70% of its short-term debt in the amount of CFAF 306.7 billion, of which 171 billion were supplier debts and 49 billion in tax and social debt. Among Eneo’s suppliers is the natural gas producer, Gaz du Cameroun, a subsidiary of Victoria Oil & Gas (VOG). In January 2018, Eneo had temporarily suspended its purchases of gas from VOG, intended for the Logbada thermal power plant, due to a debt of nearly $ 200 million that the electrician was struggling to repay.
