Tullow Oil PLC - Poised for a Takeover?

Spangle93.....I'm guessing your interest in Dafora was to get a handle on how the Kingfisher sidetrack is progressing....in which case you might be interested in something I posted on TMF today:-

This All Africa.com article has just arrived in my e-mail box with some rather interesting news on the Kingfisher side track.....




At the Buhuka camp (Kyangwali sub-county), drilling on Kingfisher 1A well is progressing [at] full throttle.

Jurgens Bence who is overseeing operations at the site said flow testing is anticipated around February. "We can't be precise because basically we can't know when we'll reach our desired depth," he said.

Kingfisher 1A well, located in exploration area 3B was deviated from Kingfisher 1 when the drilling unexpectedly encountered a hard rock before reaching the target depth of 4000 metres.

A decision was made to bypass the rock by drilling a sidetrack, with the company emboldened by the discovery at Kingfisher 1 well, which, during flow testing, showed capacity to output 4000 barrels of per day.

"We believe that there're more oil traps deep there and that is why it was determined that further drilling be done," said Robert Tugume the Principal Geophysicist with the Department of Oil Exploration and Production.

As the All Africa.com article was published today and the writer APPEARS TO HAVE visited the drilling site one can only presume that this is up to date [and accurate] information with regard to est. TD date.....so if taken at face value it looks like there may be another 2wks+ of drilling before reaching TD. FWIW.
