LONDON -- Anglo African Oil & Gas plc, an independent oil and gas developer, has announced that the construction of the extended pad at Tilapia field, in the Republic of the Congo has been completed ahead of schedule. The well to be drilled on the new pad will be designated TLP-103C and hammering of the conductor followed by moving the rig onto location will take place over the next week.
Following the need to abandon TLP-103, a review of events was carried out by an external engineering consultancy which sent staff to Tilapia on behalf of the Company to assess the issues, which were encountered along with the Company’s in-house engineering team. Following this review, recommendations have been made and implemented to mitigate further issues in this shallow section in well TLP-103C should they be encountered. Both internal and external reviews confirmed that the geological issues which were encountered could not have been identified in advance.
The Company expects to commence drilling operations on the TLP-103C well in the week commencing Oct. 8, 2018.
