Aminex, Solo Oil discover gas pay at Tanzania Ruvuma well

摘要

JOINT VENTURE PARTNERS Aminex and Solo Oil have made a gas discovery at the Ntorya-1 exploration well in the Ruvuma Basin, onshore Tanzania. Further to the companies' update earlier this month, which reported strong gas shows in a good quality Cretaceous reservoir sand at a depth of 2,660 m, the open hole has now been logged from total depth of 2,750 m across the zone of interest. Aminex chief executive Stuard Detmer said that following recent high-profile exploration successes in the offshore Ruvuma Basin of Tanzania and Mozambique, the Ntorya-1 well has established, for the first time, the presence of reservoired hydrocarbons onshore.
