He further stated that more than 41 billion barrels of crude oil and 319 trillion cubic feet of gas were yet to be discovered in Sub-Saharan Africa. Baru told his audience that in Nigeria NNPC was currently drilling Kolmani River-II Well in the Benue Trough, one of Nigeria’s several frontier inland Basins with about 400 billion standard cubic feet of gas expected to be encountered.
