Tullow provides Mahogany-2 results

Tullow Oil plc (Tullow) announces that the Mahogany-2 well, which is being drilled to appraise the Jubilee field offshore Ghana, has intersected a significant column of light oil. Results of drilling, wireline logs and samples of reservoir fluid, indicate that Jubilee is a single continuous stratigraphic trap extending at least 11km to the Hyedua-1 discovery well in the adjacent Deepwater Tano licence.

Mahogany-2, which lies in the West Cape Three Points licence, is the first appraisal well on the Jubilee field and is targeting the Turonian turbidite sandstones encountered in the Mahogany-1 and Hyedua-1 discovery wells. The well has encountered a gross reservoir interval of 243 metres, containing 63 metres of high quality stacked reservoir sandstones, and net hydrocarbon-bearing pay of 50 metres. Results of logging and pressure testing indicate that the combined hydrocarbon columns are in excess of 600 metres.

Analysis of the oil samples from the Mahogany-1 discovery well had suggested the potential for a gas cap at the Mahogany-2 location. No gas cap has however been encountered in this well thereby indicating the potential for the Jubilee field to extend further up-dip of this location.
