On the 10 February 2012 it was announced that the well would be deepened to test an additional target identified on the seismic data at a depth of approximately 2,750 metres. The well has now been drilled to 2,750 metres, and prior to reaching that depth encountered strong gas shows in a good quality reservoir sand at a depth of approximately 2,660 metres. A logging programme will commence shortly to evaluate the new section drilled below 2,500 metres and a further update will be provided after the logging programme has been completed.
The Ntorya-1 well is designed to test the high quality Basal Tertiary and Upper Cretaceous sands previously encountered in the Likonde-1 well, 14 kilometres to the north.
