News Release
Well update - Kenya
17 November 2015 - Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) announces that the
Emesek-1 exploration well in Block 13T in the North Lokichar basin,
Northern Kenya, has reached a total depth of 3,000 metres without
encountering commercial hydrocarbons.
The Emesek-1 well was drilled by the PR Marriott 46 rig. The
well will now be plugged and abandoned. Following completion of
operations, the rig will move to the South Lokichar basin to drill
the Etom-2 well which is expected to spud in late November.
Tullow operates Block 13T with 50% equity and is partnered by
Africa Oil Corporation, also with 50%.
Angus McCoss, Exploration Director, Tullow Oil plc, commented
today:
"The Emesek-1 well was the first well to be drilled in the North
Lokichar basin. While this wildcat well did not find commercial
hydrocarbons, it provides valuable data as we assess the wider
prospectivity of this basin."
