In September this year, Angola’s National Oil, Gas&Biofuels Agency (ANPG) and national oil company Sonangol initiated a 45-day geological data acquisition campaign (https://apo-opa.co/4e13vjI) in the onshore Kwanza Basin.

The Commanders gave up a league-worst 262.2 yards per game to opposing quarterbacks last…
