Kenya, Ethiopia acreage for Delonex

Delonex Energy has taken over Marathon Oil’s assets in Ethiopia and Kenya, as well as winning an onshore block in Mozambique’s licensing round. The Kenya assets consist of a 50% non-operated working interest in Africa Oil Corporation’s Block 9, and a 15% non-operated working interest in Tullow Oil’s Block 12A, where the Cheptuket well is planned to test the Kerio Valley Basin. In Ethiopia, Delonex has acquired 50% in Africa Oil’s Rift Basin area and 20% in Tullow’s South Omo Block. Marathon put the assets up for sale in May.
