Tullow has Mauritania miss

16th Feb 2011 07:22

Tullow Oil has plugged and abandoned its Gharabi-1 well, located in Block 6 offshore Mauritania after poor drilling results. The well intersected poorly developed water-bearing reservoirs. Gharabi-1 was drilled by the Operator Petronas to meet a commitment on the block and the result has no impact on Tullow's future plans for its Mauritanian acreage, it added. In Block 6, Tullow owns 22.4%, operator Petronas 72.6% and Roc Oil5%.
