OPHIR Energy, along with its joint venture partners BG Tanzania (Shell) and Pavilion Energy announced yesterday that they have concluded the drilling of two exploration wells offshore Tanzania, safely and on time.
The London-listed firm said the
programme comprised Kitatange-1 in Block 1 and Bunju-1 in Block 4. After
evaluation, Shell, the operator of Blocks 1 and 4, has confirmed that
good quality reservoir was encountered in both wells, however
hydrocarbons were not found.
“The Noble Globetrotter 2 rig has been demobilized from site,” Ophir’s board confirmed.
“The two wells fulfill the final
exploration commitments as per the exploration licences issued by the
Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM).” Subsequent to the completion of
drilling Kitatange- 1, a bridging licence has been awarded for the
existing discovery Locations in Block 1, Ophir added.
