According to the BG announcement, the
drill stem test on the Jodari-1 well, the first in deep water off
Tanzania, flowed at a maximum rate of 70 million standard cubic feet of
natural gas per day, constrained by testing equipment.
“The results
showed better than expected reservoir properties, including high
connectivity and demonstrated that development wells could produce at
higher rates,” it noted.
The drill stem test was conducted on one
of the three successful wells on the Jodari field, in 1,150 metres of
water and approximately 39 kilometres off the coast of southern
Tanzania.
The BG Group Chief Executive Officer, Mr
Chris Finlayson said: “The completion of a multiwell exploration and
appraisal programme on the Jodari field within a year of the original
discovery is a significant achievement and a credit to our team and
partners including Ophir Energy and the Government of Tanzania.
“It builds upon our run of exploration
success offshore Tanzania and further demonstrates the potential of BG
Group’s acreage.
“Results from
the Jodari-1 test have greatly improved our understanding of the
sub-surface, reducing uncertainty as we progress our options for
commercialising the resource through a potential liquefied natural gas
export project and our domestic market obligations,” Mr Finlayson said.
