Project Profile
Location: 39 km offshore southern Tanzania, Mafia Deep basin
Water Depth: 3,789 ft / 1,155 m
Drilling operations commenced on the well on Jan. 11, 2012, using the Deepsea Metro 1 (UDW drillship). The well had a targeted depth of 15,092 ft (4,600 m).
The Jodari prospect contains multiple stacked targets in both the Tertiary and Cretaceous sections with the former having seismic flat spot and amplitude fit to structure. Jodari is modeled to contain mean resources of 2.2 tcf in the stacked targets. A discovery was made in Jodari-1, indicating gross recoverable resources are in the rage of 2.5 to 4.4 tcf of gas.
The Noble Globe Trotter 2 was expected to commence drilling operations towards the end of October 2016 in waters up to 2300m deep. (November, 2016)
