Project Profile
Value: US$2.9 billion
Location: Lokichar Basin, Kenya
Area: 12,491 sq km
Production: 5,400 boepd
Start-up Year: 2021-2022
A number of prospects and leads have been mapped as prospective following the success of the Ngamia prospect. The Ngamia-1 was be the first well drilled on the block and marked the start of a multi-well drilling program in Block 10BB and adjacent blocks. In December 2015, Tullow completed the Ngamia Extended Well Test with approx. 38,000 barrels of oil produced. The five completed zones of Ngamia-8 were tested at a cumulative rate of 2,400 bopd and all except the lowest zone produced naturally.
Tullow plans to begin the development of South Lokichar Basin with Phase One producing from Amosing and Ngamia. The central processing facility (CPF) will have a capacity of 60,000-80,000 bpd. There will be 210 wells, with 18 pads at Ngamia, and 70 wells, on seven pads, at Amosing. This stage would target a resource volume of around 210 million barrels.
