Aminex completed the tendering process for a rig to drill the Chikumbi-1 (CH-1) well on the Ruvuma PSA in Tanzania. According to the company it received numerous bids, which are currently being evaluated on their respective technical and commercial merits.
The CH-1 well is located updip from both the Ntorya-1 discovery well, which tested at rates of up to 20 Mmcf/d with 139 barrels of condensate, and from the Ntorya-2 well which tested at a stabilized rate of approximately 17 Mmcf/d.
The well is expected to delineate the Ntorya gas field in a significantly thicker section of the Cretaceous reservoir system and is also being planned to evaluate a potential deeper exploration target in the Jurassic formation. If successful, CH-1 is expected to be produced into the existing Madimba Gas Processing Plant and ultimately integrated into a full field development program.
The company also reported that the pressure at the Kiliwani North-1 well has sufficiently built up and it continues to work with all parties to stimulate the production as soon as possible.
