The company is drilling the well from a surface location on the small Nyuni Island, about 30 kms off the mainland of Tanzania, to the south of the Rufiji River delta.
Total measured depth of the well is likely to be 3,325m and total vertical depth is 2,964m subsea.
Nyuni-2 targets the same Neocomian sandstones which form the reservoirs in the nearby Songo-Songo gas field and in the Aminex-owned Kiliwani North gas field reservoir.
An additional target is an Aptian/Albian sandstone reservoir that was logged as gas-bearing in the Nyuni-1 well.
