In early July 2020, Divine Inspiration Group (DigOil) â partner of Efora Energy in the local company Semliki Energy - confirmed being seeking a new partner for its Block III. Local sources suggested that Total may consider entering the licence, but this was not confirmed by the latter. The company plans to drill two exploration wells (potentially three) in the northern part of the licence.    The licence is located in the Nord-Kivu province, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), East African Rift System. Block III is crossed by the Semliki River and lies between Lake Albert and Lake Edward adjacent to Ugandan border. In May 2019, the company had received a fist validity extension for its licence. As a result, the exploration phase was set to expire in January 2020. On 22 November 2019, a second validity extension was granted and the licence is now valid until July 2020.  Interest in the licence is held by Semliki Energy SPRL (85% + operator) and the State (15%).
