Amni International Petroleum Development Company Limited, a Nigerian oil company intends to spud two wells in the Central Tano Block in the Deepwater Tano Basin, offshore western Ghana.

“Amni is currently advancing their technical evaluation of the acreage with plans to spud the first of two commitment wells in early 2018,” the company said on its website.

The company stated that: “Amni holds a 90% interest in the acreage and is operator with partner GNPC controlling the remaining 10%. Positioned in the heart of the most productive area of the Tano Basin, the 277.9 km2 block contains exploration targets at the same reservoir levels found in Jubilee and surrounding fields.”

“The Central Tano Block is the relinquished portion of the original Deepwater Tano Block. The Deepwater Tano Block was awarded to Tullow Oil and partners and contains the Jubilee field. Water depths range from 300-1500 meters across the Central Tano Block situated approximately 60 km offshore.”
