The Tubarao discovery well encountered more than 110 net feet of natural gas pay and no water, separate and distinct from the hydrocarbon accumulations in Anadarko’s three previous discoveries in the Offshore Area 1 of the Rovuma Basin.
The Tubarao discovery well was drilled to a total depth of approximately 13,900ft in water depths of approximately 2,950ft, approximately 18 miles off the Mozambique coast.
The partnership plans to preserve the wellbore at Tubarao for potential utilization in future testing.
Once operations are complete, the partnership plans to mobilize the rig to the previously announced Windjammer discovery to commence a coring program that will be followed by appraisal drilling in the Windjammer, Barquentine, Lagosta complex.
Anadarko is the operator of the 2.6-million-acre Offshore Area 1 with a 36.5% working interest.
