Uganda: Block 2 - Mputa-1 Wildcat
The Mputa-1 well was spudded on 22 December and at 2200 hours, Uganda time (0300 hours
WST) was drilling 18 5/8 inch surface hole at 104 metres.
Mputa-1 will target a structural prospect with potential multiple objectives. The prospect was
defined by the 2005 onshore seismic survey and oil seeps have been identified in the immediate
area.
The planned total depth is approximately 1,100 metres. The well location is 220 kilometres
north-west of the capital Kampala and onshore 8 kilometres from Lake Albert. The location is
60 kilometres south-west of the Butiaba Waki-1 well (drilled in 1938) and 87 kilometres northeast
of the Turaco exploration wells drilled by Heritage in 2002-2004.
