Transparency International survey just out on global corruption ranking by country. Amazing - Bots is rated 4th in Africa after UAE, Seychelles, Qatar with a score of 61 (same score as last year).

Shame that they are blissfully unaware of reality in Bots - they will be embarrassed by the recent stream of news and its impact therein ranking.

Still, others who live in denial of reality will latch to the global strength of this august body. Good luck with that.

As always, DYOR and keep IT up.

Six developments shaping Africa’s energy sector in 2019

After a year of rebound and recovery, Africa’s old and new hydrocarbons markets have an opportunity to further entrench the continent’s position as the world’s hottest oil and gas frontier in 2019. However, the new year also brings a new set of dynamics and challenges set to influence the future of the industry, from presidential elections to megaprojects developments, amidst intensifying international competition.



But sadly no mention of Botswana projects. Still if those countries can mobilise a mega project, surely Bots will want to keep up. Or is the place just content being a law and island unto itself.

PPADB tenders down P4bn as rejection rate balloons

[donkey40] 28/1/2019 18:32

Don’t care mate - at least my posts are not enticing people to lose money. The macro political situation in Bots is increasingly dire - all the top rankings for good governance are in process of being destroyed. International banks are reportedly steering clear of Bots money flows due to weak AML controls. If there was good news on the horizon I would gladly share it. But there isnt.

And if Govt give more reasons to delay RFP award, what then .....

You're on your own here donkey
Bored too many with past antics

[donkey40] 28/1/2019 09:00

Another exciting week ahead as numbers start being bandied on alleged corruption activities perpetrated by the Least Corrupt Govt in Africa; the most supportive and business friendly Govt in Africa. Maybe PPADB, the dept tasked with running the RFP will come in for some media time as well.

I think now people are starting to realise Tidd’s Research was all it was cracked up to be. Still he will claim he did everything for the right motives.

Hope some are managing to Keep IT up.

The word is Kgosi will spill the beans on Israel involvement in diamond benefication contracts that should have been done in Bots in the glitzy self purpose building they built but actually the work went to Israel (not hard to guess who was enriched on the way). Then the double whammy (or double dipping) will also come out re the significant sums of money paid for surveillance equipment and services provided by the Israeli company.
The question is whether Kgosi directly implicates the top dog at the time; what deal will he do to try save himself; whether he will be allowed a deal; and just how much of any of this ever is made public since it is embarrassing in the extreme for the Govt and the country.
I suspect over time now we will see those survey rankings for Bots taking a major hit.....
Keep DYOR Tidd, Buzz and Windy - YDFs.

Truth finally emerging. Long way still to go.

[donkey40] 25/1/2019 07:56

suggest people check out how OECD is now ranking Botswana for economic, political and investment purposes. Next piece of macro country news not far away....

DYOR as always (rather than listen to false prophets who only know how to post selective and supportive good news).

[billyboychrisd] 23/1/2019 08:25

Business as usual. Nothing new in the update. Just hanging in there for the next stimulus now.

[mr.oz] 23/1/2019 07:49

Is that the only comment after today's rns?

[wheniamfree] 23/1/2019 07:30

Donkey you have already been proven a liar last time you tried to undermine said poster. You embarrassed yourself.

Now you are at it again with a mish mash of messages and responses from 2 years ago.

Three words - get a life.

Come on tidd - man up !!

[cezary] 16/1/2019 13:54

Depends how much Tlou grease Khama's palm in order to get things going. Much like other African countries.

[donkey40] 15/1/2019 22:26

Well I will be damned:



Ultimately this should be fantastic news for Bots. But how much short term pain, division and politicking remains to be seen. If any of the cheerleaders had bothered with proper political research in Bots, they would have realised the country was iron-ruled by Khama and he had a finger in every meaningful pie. And CBM was never meaningful - still isn’t. So there is a long slow road ahead folks.

But as always, DYOR and keep IT up. The RFP award probably just got pushed back another 2-3 months... jeez.

Tlou Energy Limited, the ASX, AIM and BSE listed company focused on developing gas-to-power projects in southern Africa using coal bed methane ("CBM") natural gas from its gas field in Botswana, is pleased to announce that ......

Great newsflow from a company listed on 3 stock exchanges who are busy drilling a few wells. Keeping us informed is what some people call it.

Keep IT up team !!! Awesome

Much more importantly on the ground down there:

Hi .
I'm migrating from the other thread as the muppets have played donkey's game by reacting, so the thread is a pile of bilge as a result.

Hope this turns out better.

Recommencement of Drilling and Operational Update

Tlou Energy Limited, the ASX, AIM and BSE listed company focused on developing gas‐to‐power projects
in southern Africa using coal bed methane (“CBM”) natural gas from its gas field in Botswana, is pleased
to announce that the Company’s operational team has recommenced Production Pod drilling at its
advanced stage Lesedi CBM project.

Key Points:
 Drilling of lateral wells at the Lesedi CBM project has recommenced. Specialist directional
drilling crew and other key personnel are now on site;
 Following drilling of the lateral wells, the Lesedi 3 and Lesedi 4 production pods will be
completed prior to the installation of surface production facilities. Dewatering and
production testing can then begin. Successfully flowing gas at Lesedi 3 & 4 has the potential
to upgrade Reserves;
 A comprehensive tender was recently submitted as a response to a Request for Proposal
(RFP) for supply of CBM gas‐to‐power to the Government of Botswana. Discussions with
other potential off‐takers as well as development finance providers is in progress;
 An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for the power generation facility as well as the
transmission lines to connect to the electricity grid has also now been submitted.
Drilling operations update

The Company is pleased to announce that following the successful drilling of the vertical wells and the
top‐hole sections for the new production pods at the Lesedi CBM Project, operations have now
recommenced to drill the lateral well sections for the first two Production Pods (Lesedi 3 & 4).
Following the completion of lateral wells (Lesedi 3A & 3B and Lesedi 4A & 4B), the production pods
will be completed using a separate workover rig ahead of installation of surface production facilities
including water evaporation ponds.
All of the production pods are being drilled in the same area as has been proposed for the initial project
development and are aimed at confirming the gas flows in this area as well as ensuring production
readiness prior to commencement of development operations. Dewatering and production testing
activities will begin immediately following the completion of the production pods and the Company
expects to provide regular updates on production testing progress.
