Minexco Petroleum Inc. launched its work program for the South Deep
Water Tano (SDWT) Block offshore Ghana. Through the company’s JV with
AGR Energy and AGM Petroleum Ghana, operational and technical teams will
begin work to reassess the existing 3D seismic data over 75% of the
SDWT area and further develop its work program for future exploration.
Drilling of prospects is expected to commence in 2015.
AGM Petroleum will work with ExploreCo, a division of state company
GNPC, to finalize the work program and subsequently explore and develop
the SDWT offshore prospect. The block is in the Tano Basin, which is
also home to the producing Jubilee Field.
Martin Keeley, CEO of Minexco Petroleum, said: “The launch of
this next phase of analysis and planning further solidifies the
cooperation between the operational and technical teams of Minexco, AGR
Energy and GNPC to bring this exciting prospect to production.
“As Minexco works closely with GNPC to take an increasingly active
role in the development of the country’s natural resources through the
training of local talent, we will collectively contribute to the
development of Ghana as a hub for the fast growing African offshore
E&P sector. We view this model of cooperation as a template for
future projects on the continent and abroad.”
