Kenya strikes more oil in Turkana
Monday, May 7 2012
Kenya has struck more oil in Turkana and surpassed the oil reserve in Uganda, Tullow Oil Plc, which is operating the block has announced.
"This ongoing wildcat is an excellent start to our exploration campaign. The net pay encountered so far in Ngamia-1 is more than double that encountered in any of our East African exploration wells to date. We now look forward to the drilling and evaluation of the deeper potential of this well and the acceleration of our seismic and drilling campaigns in the region, " said Angus McCoss, Exploration Director at Tullow Oil Plc.
The company announced that the Ngamia-1 exploration well has now been drilled to an intermediate depth of 1,515 metres and the total net oil pay encountered so far has increased to in excess of 100 metres across multiple reservoir zones.
On March 26, President Kibaki announced that Kenya had discovered in excess of 20 metres of net oil pay. But the commercial viability of the oil reserve was to await further drilling.
The company has announced that it will continue drilling the Ngamia-1 well to a total depth of approximately 2,700 metres to explore deeper potential.
The rig will then be moved 31 kilometres further to the Tullow Operated Block 13T, where the Twiga-1 (formerly known as Mbango-A) wildcat well will spud in the second half of 2012.
A further rig is being sourced to drill the Tullow Operated Block 10A Paipai prospect in Marsabit County.
