The targeted carbonates of Mid Jurassic Mtumbei formation have been found with good reservoir characteristics.
No hydrocarbon shows being encountered (possibly due to lack of effective lateral seal), and Maurel & Prom has requested authorization to plug and abandon the well.
The well is the second and last commitment well of the Initial Exploration Phase, and the company is further evaluating the well results to determine the way forward with this block.
Maurel & Prom is the operator of the well with a 90% working interest.
The company is currently engaged in a farm-out process of its interest in Tanzania.
