Tullow says new strike proves big new Ghana field
|
January 21, 2010 London-based explorer Tullow Oil said a well it drilled offshore Ghana had struck oil, proving the existence of a major new field, adding to a string of finds in the West African country in the past three years. "Tweneboa-2 was a bold step-out which has successfully proven the significant extent of a major new oil and gas-condensate field offshore Ghana," Angus McCoss, Exploration Director, said in a statement. Tullow operates the Deepwater Tano licence and is partnered by private equity-backed Kosmos Energy, Anadarko Petroleum, Sabre Oil & Gas and the Ghana National Petroleum Corporation. Investors were keenly awaiting the well results, which analysts said was "highly prospective". – Reuters |
