In the semi-autonomous region of Puntland in northern Somalia, Range Resources, based in Melbourne, Australia, has contracted for all mineral and hydrocarbon rights in the region, said Peter Landau, the company's managing director. Range Resources has opened an office in the port city of Boosaso and will drill its first of four exploration wells this year onshore, he said.
"Puntland is considered a geological mirror image to Yemen," Landau said. Yemen, already an oil producer, is located across the Gulf of Aden from Puntland.
