Tullow Oil has announced the discovery of
more oil and gas in Ghana.
In a press statement it said “with Tweneboa-2
exploratory appraisal well, being drilled some six
kilometers southeast of the Tweneboa-1 discovery, has
intersected a significant combined hydrocarbon column”.
“Results of drilling, wireline logs and samples of
reservoir fluids establish that Tweneboa is major oil
and gas-condensat3e field,” it said.
According to the statement, a combined hydrocarbon
column of at least 350 meters has been established
between the lowest known oil Tweneboa-2 and the top of
the gas-condensate at Tweneboa-1, demonstrating this is
a highly prospective and extensive turbidite fan system
that will be evaluated with additional drilling.
It added that the well has encountered a gross reservoir
interval of 153 meters containing 32 meters of net
hydrocarbon pay in stacked reservoir sandstones,
comprising a 17 meter oil bearing zone below a 15 meter
gas-condensate bearing zone.
Tullow Oil which is the major stakeholder in Ghana’s
largest oil field, which is said to be the largest to be
discovered in West Africa in the last 10 to 15 years has
49.95 percent in the Deepwater Tano license and its
partnered by Kosmos Energy per cent, Anadarko Petroleum
18 per cent, Sabre Oil and Gas 4.05 percent and the
Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC) 10 percent.
Commercial production of oil in Ghana is expected to
begin this year.
