Shell and partners have started to drill two exploration wells in blocks 1 and 4 in offshore Tanzania, which are expected to supply the proposed Tanzania LNG project, Shell partner Ophir Energy has said.
The partners plan to invest around USD 80 million for drilling, with two wells to be drilled in the Mafia deepwater basin at depths of up to 2.3 km. The blocks contain an estimated 2.5 Tcf of mean recoverable gas and the wells carry a 40% chance of success, reports suggest.
