Comoros: Cove team in new venture

The Cove Energy team’s new venture in the Comoros Islands has won backing from Amsterdam-based Oranje-Nassau Energie. Discover Exploration has a production-sharing contract (PSC) covering 18,0000km2 over the outboard part of the Rovuma Delta, geologically on trend with Cove’s former Mozambique acreage. Discover’s management team is led by Cove veterans Michael Blaha, John Craven and Michael Nolan, while Oranje-Nassau Energie chairman Marcel van Poecke, chief executive Alexander Berger and board adviser Paddy Spink are on the Discover board as non-executive directors.
