The results from a recently completed second drillstem test (DST) on the Mzia discovery in Block 1 offshore southern Tanzania provided further support for a hub development to supply a potential onshore LNG project, BG Group Plc said in a press release.
The DST on the Mzia-3 appraisal well was drilled in about 1,800 m (5,906 ft) of water about 6 km (3.7 miles) north of the original Mzia-1 discovery and included sustained gas production at a maximum flow rate of about 17,000 boe/d.
Mzia, discovered in 2012, is a multilayered field of Upper Cretaceous age with a gross gas column in excess of 300 m (984 ft).
BG Group has a 60% interest in and is operator of the block, with Ophir Energy holding 20% and Pavilion Energy holding 20%.
