SHARE TIP UPDATE:

Buy

This is a timely deal which removes any funding concerns over Afren and leaves it very well-placed relative to junior oil sector peers. Despite having pulled back in recent weeks, at 59p the shares are still just about up on our buy tip (54p, 2 February 2008) and remain a buy.
