Victoria Oil and Gas (VOG), the AIM listed exploration company with assets in Cameroon and the former Soviet Union, says it is on track to make its first gas sales by the end of 2011.
The production facilities at its Logbaba site, which will treat the gas from the wellheads and separate condensate, are now "mechanically complete".
The company now needs to complete testing of all instrumentation but expects this to be finished by the end of next week at which point gas will be "flared" to verify everything works.
