Tullow Oil announces mixed well results

Tullow Oil has announced that the Nzizi-3 well in Uganda Block 2 has appraised the Nzizi gas field, and that the well is a viable future gas producer.

Tullow has interests in three licences in the Lake Albert Rift Basin in Uganda. Tullow operates Block 2 with a 100% interest and has a 50% interest in Blocks 1 and 3A which are operated by Heritage Oil (50%).

The company also said that the Noix de Coco-1 well in Gabon had encountered wet gas but in poor quality reservoir sandstones. The well will be plugged and abandoned.
