Ntorya 1 nears total depth
 Operator Aminex says its Ntorya 1 exploration well in the Rovuma Basin in Tanzania is now expected to reach total depth at the end of the month.
Updating drilling progress today, Aminex said the well has been drilled to a depth of 1,535 metres (5,034 feet) at which point an intermediate casing string has been set and the well is now drilling ahead to a target interval lying at a depth between 1,800 m and 1,900 m (5,904- 6,232 ft).
Ntorya 1 is aimed at testing basal Tertiary and Upper Cretaceous sands previously encountered in the Likonde-1 gas discovery well, which was drilled 14 kilometres (8.75 miles) to the north, the company has indicated.
Aminex is operating the well with 56.25% through Ndovu Resources, Tullow Oil has 25% equity and Solo Oil 18.75%.Advertisement
