Nairobi; Kenya: Mandera County could rival Turkana County in terms of oil wealth, with a recent survey in the region indicating the region could have more than 1.3 billion barrels of oil.
Taipan, a Canadian oil firm with ownership in an oil block in Mandera, has announced that initial survey showed the region has oil resources estimated at over 1.3 billion barrels. This is comparison to about a billion barrels thought to be in the areas where Tullow has been exploring for oil in Turkana.
