Not content with announcing a gas success offshore Mozambique, Anadarko has reported that the Ntomme-2A appraisal well in the Deepwater Tano Block offshore Ghana encountered about 39m (128ft net) of light oil pay in excellent quality sandstone reservoirs.
Fluid samples recovered from the Ntomme-2A well indicate oil of approximately 35 degrees API gravity.
Anadarko, partner to operator Tullow Oil in the Deepwater Tano Block and the Ntomme-2A well, said that the discovery of a significant light oil accumulation was an excellent result that enhances the value of the Greater Tweneboa, Enyenra and Ntomme (TEN) fields complex.
