Maurel et Prom and Wentworth Resources discovered gas while drilling the MB-4 development well in the Mnazi Bay Concession in Tanzania. The well was drilled to a total depth of 9,146 ft and encountered a total of 219 ft of net pay across two targeted reservoirs, the Lower Mnazi Bay and the Upper Mnazi Bay.
The well achieved a flow rate of 22 Mmcf/d from the Lower Mnazi Bay reservoir and 18.8 Mmcf/d of gas from the Upper Mnazi reservoir.
The MB-4 well will be connected to production facilities currently being installed in the field, for start-up in Q3 2015
