Aminex has announced that it has commenced drilling the Ntorya 2<\/a> appraisal well in the Ruvuma Basin, Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The well is being drilled to an estimated total depth of 2860 metres and is targeting the same channel complex as Ntorya 1 but further updip of the reservoir.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to have commenced the drilling of the Ntorya 2 appraisal well in the Ruvuma Basin. Aminex is one of the few oil and gas companies actively drilling in East Africa and this a very exciting time for the Company,\u201d said CEO of Aminex Jay Bhattacherjee.<\/p>\n

The well location is a 1,500-metre step-out from the Company\u2019s Ntorya 1 discovery which flow-tested gas at 20 mmcf\/d, with 139 barrels of associated condensate, from a 3.5-metre sand interval.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to have confirmation of the start of drilling at the Ntorya-2 appraisal well in the Ruvuma Basin. This low risk step-out from the discovery well is anticipated to provide significant encouragement for the development of the field and the results are eagerly awaited,” Commented Solo’s Chairman Neil Ritson.<\/p>\n

The Company has a 75% operating interest while Solo Oil has 25% non-operating interest in the well and initial results are expected early next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
