97% of production was in Africa, while 3% of production was in the United States.
The Company’s primary source of revenue is from its 28.07% interest, via a production sharing contract, in operations in the 750,000 acre (3,000 km²) Etame Marin block, located offshore near Gabon, West Africa.
Other participants in the Etame Marin block are Addax Petroleum Etame Inc. (31.36%), Sasol Petroleum Etame Ltd. (27.75%), Sojitz Etame Ltd. (2.98%), PetroEnergy Resources Corp. (2.34%), and Tullow Oil Gabon SA (7.5%).
