Tullow finds oil at Nsoga-1 exploration well in Uganda
Tullow Oil PLC (LSE: TLW) said the Nsoga-1 exploration well, which is located in the Butiaba region of Uganda Block 2, has encountered good quality Kasamene-type oil bearing reservoirs.
The well was drilled approximately six kilometres horizontally from the top of the structure, to a total depth of 755 metres and has been successfully cored, logged and sampled.
The total net Kasamene-type reservoir is 43 metres thick, of which the top three metres is oil bearing at this location.
Nsoga-1 is the seventh successful test of the Victoria Nile Delta play fairway within the Lake Albert Rift Basin. This latest result further extends the play and de-risks several adjacent prospects located in Blocks 1 and 2, which are scheduled for drilling later in 2009.
The well is now being suspended as a future oil producer and on completion of operations the rig will move to test the Awaka prospect with drilling operations scheduled to commence this month.
Tullow has interests in three licences in the Lake Albert Rift Basin in Uganda. Tullow operates Block 2 with a 100 percent interest and has a 50 percent interest in Blocks 1 and 3A which are operated by Heritage Oil, with 50 percent.
