With the above in mind here is the basic concept of the opportunity. Manas Petroleum (OTCBB:MNAP) is a niche oil company that has been quietly amassing a massive portfolio of giant on-shore oil projects that are likely to be low cost producers. Manas now has one of the world’s largest onshore light oil exploration projects in Albania. It is (safely) in Europe and only 20 miles north of continental Europe’s largest oil field. According to the combined conclusions of super-major Shell and a French company, Coparex, one prospect has the potential to produce over 800 million barrels of light oil. But the project has grown much larger. The council of ministers recently ratified the production-sharing contract on the two former Occidental blocks to DWM Petroleum, a subsidiary of Manas.
