Ophir Energy has completed the Pweza-2 appraisal well in Block 4, Tanzania. Ophir holds 40% of Blocks 1, 3 and 4. BG Group operates with 60%.

Successful Pweza-2 appraisal well

The Pweza-2 well was drilled approximately 2km to the south of the Pweza-1 discovery well in Block 4 and was located downdip of the discovery well to better understand the wider distribution and quality of the reservoir sands across the Pweza field. The well intersected 20m of net pay with excellent reservoir quality which was confirmed to be in pressure communication with Pweza-1. This result has firmed up our resource estimates for the Pweza field which stand at 1.7 TCF of gross recoverable resource.
