Tullow Oil reported that the Ngamia-1 well has encountered oil and gas shows over a gross interval of 459 feet (140 meters) from a depth of 5,905 feet (1,800 meters) to 6,364 feet (1,940 meters). The reservoirs are similar to those previously encountered at a shallower depth. The company made the announcement to clarify a statement made at an investors meeting in Nairobi that the Ngamia-1 well was drilling into the primary target and that initial results appeared to indicate that the well had intersected further oil-bearing sands.
