Partners on Tanzania’s offshore Block 2, Statoil and ExxonMobil, have made a new natural gas discovery with the drilling of their latest well. The well, the Mronge-1, gave the partners an additional 2-3 Tcf of gas in place and marks the partners’ fifth discovery on the block.
The Mronge-1 well discovered gas at two separate levels. The main accumulation is at the same stratigraphic level as proven in the Zafarani-1 well in Block 2. The Zafarani-1 discovery was made in 2012 and was a play opener for the block. The secondary accumulation was encountered in a separate, younger gas-bearing reservoir, in a play which previously has not been tested in Block 2.
Mronge-1 was drilled at 2,500 meter water depth using the drillship Discoverer Americas and is located 20 km north of the Zafarani discovery
