An $80million exploration drilling campaign started today on two blocks operated by Shell off the coast of Tanzania.
Noble’s Globetrotter 2 drillship is carrying out the work on two wells in blocks one and four in the Mafia Deep basin.
Shell became the operator of the two blocks in February 2016, after its combination with BG Group.
Shell’s joint venture partners on the assets are Pavilion Energy and London-listed Ophir Energy.
