Tullow Oil Plc has had an eventful October this year which saw it make its fourth consecutive wildcat discovery with the Ekales-1 well in early October 2013 but later suffered a setback that saw it suspend operations in Turkana. However, according to a statement released yesterday, the firm is back even more driven.
“The Agete exploration well, which plans to extend the play northwards from the Twiga discovery, is currently being drilled with results expected at the end of November 2013. The Amosing exploration well (south of Ngamia-1) and the Etuko-1 well test are both scheduled to commence later this month,” read part of the statement.
All operations in Block 10BB and Block 13T in Northern Kenya were temporarily suspended on 28 October 2013 as a precautionary measure following demonstrations by local people. Operations resumed on 8 November 2013 after successful discussions relating to the operating environment with central and regional government and local community leaders.
“These discussions led to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding which clearly lays out a plan for the Government of Kenya, county government, local communities in Northern Kenya and Tullow to work together inclusively over the long-term and to ensure that operations can continue without disruption in the future,” said the company in the statement.
