Tullow Oil together with drilling partner, Africa Oil  will commence drilling works in Amosing-1 and Etuko-1wells before the end of this year. This they confirmed during an announcement last week where they confirmed striking of oil deposits at a site in Agate-1 well. (Read-Tullow strikes oil in Agete-1)

Amosing-1 well in Block 10BB, is expected to commence drilling before the end of November with the Weatherford 804 rig. The Etuko-1 well test in Block 10BB is also scheduled to commence this month with the PR Marriott 46 rig which recently arrived in country and the Ekales-1 well test is scheduled to commence in early December.

Tullow is operating  on-shore blocks namely;10BA,10A,10BB,13T,12A and 12B.Tullow is also a non-operated partner in the off-shore block L8 of Apache Corporation, an American explorer.

The Sakson PR5 rig which drilled the Agete-1 to a total depth of 1,930 metres  will be moved to drill the Ewoi-1 wildcat in the east of the basin, targeting a rift flank prospect similar to the recent Etuko oil discovery.
