Drilling Activity Summary
Description
A gas and condensate discovery was reported offshore Ghana CTP-Block 4 by Rome-based Eni. The well, #1X-Akoma, on the Akoma exploration prospect, has an estimated volume between 550-650 Bcf of gas and 18-20 MMbbl of condensate. The discovery has further additional upside for gas and oil that will require further drilling to be confirmed. The well was drilled to 3,790 m and is in 350 m of water. It hit a 20-m gas and condensate column in a sandstone reservoir interval of Cenomanian age. The well is the first one drilled in the block. The partners in the block are operator Eni, 42.469%; Tano Petroleum, 33.975%; Ghana National Petroleum, 10%; Woodfields Upstream, 9.556%; and Explorco, 4%).
