Preparations are being made to test the Ntorya 1 gas discovery onshore Tanzania.

London-listed Solo Oil said today that the Ntorya 1 1 well drilled in the onshore section of the Ruvuma Basin in Tanzania has now been completed and the Caroil 6 land rig which drilled the well is now being demobilised to make way for a wireline testing rig.

That test rig is due to arrive on site within the next month to commence a production test after a production string was run into the well and a Christmas tree installed.

Back in February Solo and operator Aminex said a 25 metre (80 foot) column of pay had been encountered in the well, which is operated by Aminex through Ndovu Resources.

New seismic and geological studies have been commissioned by the two exploration companies to gauge the size of the Ntorya find, and to identify further exploration opportunities.

“This discovery is ideally located just 20 kilometres [12 miles] from Mtwara where there is an existing gas to power facility and where there are plans to install additional gas facilities and pipelines to commercialise the reported 70 tcf of gas already discovered in the Ruvuma Basin,” noted Solo director Neil Ritson. “Having low cost gas onshore close to Mtwara is a significant advantage and we hope to capitalise on that jointly with Aminex,” Ritson added.
