Capitaine Energy

Oil is not found by companies and their boards of directors, or by peer review committees, or by specialized software ... it is found by people with new ideas

"...in the final analysis, it is found in the minds of men".

Wallace E. Pratt, 1952

Capitaine Energy Inc., is a private Canadian company founded in Calgary, Alberta in 2017, which is focused on early development and add on exploration opportunities in the shallow, equatorial waters of Gabon, Africa. The CEO of Capitaine, who is highly experienced in slope-basin "turbidite style" depositional systems in the UK North Sea, first became involved in this area with Elf Gabon in the early 1980's. There he followed in the footsteps of an eminent Gabonese explorer who was working the area and his name "Mavoungou" has been assigned to one of the original prospects identified in 1984. Though enigmatic, Capitaine considers these shallow water areas to hide a large, misunderstood petroleum play system, which may be similar in size to that of the offshore Port Gentil area, which has been productive since the early 1960's.
