The independent inspection of the rig that is to be used to drill Aminex plc’s Ntorya-2 well has been completed. The company says the well is now expected to spud in mid-December.
The well location is a 1,500-meter step-out from the company’s Ntorya-1 discovery which flow-tested gas at 20 Mmcf/d, with 139 barrels of associated condensate, from a 3.5-meter sand interval.
The Ntorya2 well is expected to test the up-dip part of the same channel complex as the Ntorya-1 discovery well only in a thicker gross reservoir section.
Additionally, Aminex has now completed all necessary civil works for the subsequent Ntorya-3 wellsite. Ntorya-3is expected to be drilled following Ntorya-2 but the program may vary depending on the results at Ntorya-2.
The Ntorya-3 was identified based on 2D seismic acquired in 2014 and is further up-dip from Ntorya-1 and Ntorya-2. The well is expected to test the thickest part of the Cretaceous channel complex.
