--- Sorry I could not find this announcement on Tullow or Africa Oil websites Looks like the Tuesday announcement was obtained by Coast Week on Monday and they went with as a "scoop". ---

In a statement, Tullow said its Twiga-2 appraisal well had found 62 meters of net oil pay north of the companies’ Twiga-1 well, which had previously encountered some 18 meters of net oil pay with limited reservoir quality.

"The well encountered up to 39 meters of net oil pay and 11 meters of net gas pay and appears to have identified a new fault block trap north of the main Ngamia accumulation," said the statement.

"The reservoirs were high quality with more than 200 meters of net reservoir sands with good permeability inferred from MDT sampling," Tullow’s Exploration Director Angus McCoss said in the statement.

McCoss said the well has been suspended for testing and the rig will continue to drill up to four additional appraisal wells in the Ngamia field area for an extended well test program.
