The company will drill the entire reservoir interval with a predicted total depth of the well of about 7,579ft.
The well will test a previously identified gas field which was logged and tested during drilling of the Bwata-1 well in 1959 and the Triceratops-1 well in 2005.
The company has also recently completed over 128km of seismic acquisition re-evaluating the Triceratops gas field.
The seismic data defines a larger structural closure than previously recognized, and seismic facies character and geometries analogous to the Antelope reefal build up have also been observed.
The Triceratops-2 well is expected to penetrate the top of the carbonate reservoir about 1,500ft higher than the gas water contact established in the Bwata-1 well.
The primary objectives of the Triceratops-2 well are to confirm the presence of gas and condensate, to test for the presence of reefal carbonate reservoir, and in the event of success, to complete the well as a future production well.
