this one a land rig. lol

http://www.saksongroup.com/rig-details/4/2600-HP

ill try again Sakson rig
http://www.saksongroup.com/rig-details/4/2600-HP

this is the sort of rig that APT will be using to drill CH-1

http://www.saksongroup.com/rig-details/4/2600-HP

I don't know if this still stands ?

"The Company has finalised the Chikumbi-1 executive drilling and completions programmes, has identified and selected the service companies required to operate all aspects of drilling and, based on a competitive tender process, has selected Sakson Drilling and Oil Services DMCC to drill the Chikumbi-1 well"

well this was the rig HE1 used last time to drill their first well, i mean what did they expect with a toy like this

no fj, i cant imagen it well be anything near, like the spec of rig that APT will be using. i think it was an absolute joke the rig that HE1 used last time, i have no trust in them

if all goes well, i think they'll have a fair idea by then, regarding the CH-1 location, and the Ntorya's Craterous and the deeper Jurassic targets

"the world will have moved on from gas and oil and they will have missed a golden opportunity to strengthen their economy."

or another way of looking at it, the era of abundant efficient and cheep energy source is behind us now, well maybe not for Tanzania. i don't know if i buy into this green energy malarkey, and i think the transition will be quite an awakening as we move forward, but one thing is for sure, nothing is for free.

yes gaslady, and i think thats what the RNS says (" AGS will mobilise, weather permitting, and focus on the proposed location for the Chikumbi-1 well ("CH-1") to acquire as much data as possible before the start of the rainy season ")

"The acquisition will consist of approximately 338 km² of 3D seismic data focusing on the area of primary interest. AGS will mobilise, weather permitting, and focus on the proposed location for the Chikumbi-1 well ("CH-1") to acquire as much data as possible before the start of the rainy season with the programme re-commencing after that with no additional cost to the JV partners."

we had similar statements the past month or so re; resolving the late payments and how it would ("enable Tanzania to secure further investment and upstream gas development") so i wonder, who or what upstream gas development Charlie Santos is alluding to , i think it would be rather presumptuous of him to be referring to the LNG project and the relationship between the Gov a say the major oil gas company's, so i'm of the opinion he is hinting at the planed Nyuni 3D and a possible partner to farm-in and fund it ??

" The Company appreciates the TPDC's constructive approach to the negotiations and believes that both parties agree that these matters need to be resolved satisfactorily and swiftly to benefit the local gas industry and enable Tanzania to secure further investment and upstream gas development"

yes Ufufuo, it certainly does, if it is the plan, that is with Aminex and the TPDC to get the KN-1 well, re-perforated and cleaned up and back into production ASAP, then the market perception of little old Aminex is going to go through a remarkable change, fingers crossed and all that. im on nights at the mo, i just popped down for a little peek : )

(Perforate lower zone to potentially access additional gas)

Kiliwani North-1 operations
"• Pending government approvals, the Company has designed a relatively low-cost remediation project to unload fluid from the well and attempt to re-establish flow to the Songo Songo gas processing facility
• Equipment has been identified in the region and plans are in place to mobilize once approvals are in place"

Kiliwani North Area is highly prospective with:
"• High deliverability reservoirs = Kiliwani North-1 ested 40 MMcf/d "

just reading this again, and i would think the agreement for the outstanding receivables to be paid (now) is in line or in conjunction with the other agreements needed for AEX to poceed with the KN-1 remedial work program. so hopefully news soonish on the KN-1 remedial work, yes i think the TPDC wants that gas ?

H/Y Report
"Aminex has prepared a perforation strategy for a lower zone within the reservoir and an alternative remedial work programme intended to establish fluid levels in the wellbore, reservoir pressure and to unload potential fluid using foam treatment."

"The Company is working with the TPDC on agreed methods to handle wellbore fluids which will potentially be unloaded during operations on the well. Agreement and planning will be required prior to undertaking operations, including resolution on the outstanding receivables of US$8.34 million for previous gas sales from KNDL and related late payment interest."

yes Ufufuo, i was about to say re the low cost to perforate the lower zone, and that the risk-reward would favour doing it.

don't get me wrong vike, i totally agree with

"This is great news and important for so many reasons, even if the net amount is a touch than some were expecting."

"Will be interesting in the weeks and months ahead to see how AEX approaches next steps. We have a KN1 remediation plan, but our strategy and resources are aligned with being a non-operator. IE, we won't be the ones doing the work."

"Kiliwani is in Songo Songo. We feed into the same processing facility."

there are two processing plants, the old one is owned by Songas, which is fed by the Songo Songo gas field, by 6 or so wells at about 100 mmscfd, and then there is the new processing plant, this one is owned by the TPDC, and has the KN-1 well tide in to it. Orca, a couple of years ago, agreed with the TPDC to supply about 20 mmscfd into TPDC new plant, and that is probably the limit of their/ Orca-Songo Songo field (spair capacity) as they are commited and bound to supply the Songas processing plant, which is being upgraded to to process more gas.

Nature of Operations
The principal asset of Orca Energy Group Inc. (“Orca” or the “Company”) is its interest in the Production Sharing Agreement (“PSA”) with the Tanzanian Petroleum Development Corporation (“TPDC”) and the Government of Tanzania (“GoT”) in the United Republic of Tanzania. This PSA covers the production and marketing of certain gas from the Songo Songo licence offshore Tanzania. The PSA defines the gas produced from the Songo Songo Gas Field as “Protected Gas” and “Additional Gas”. The Protected Gas is owned by TPDC and is sold under a 20-year gas agreement (until July 31, 2024) to Songas
Limited (“Songas”) and Tanzania Portland Cement PLC (“TPCPLC”). Songas is the owner of the infrastructure that enables the gas to be processed and delivered to Dar es Salaam, which includes a gas processing plant on Songo Songo Island (collectively, the “Songas Infrastructure”).

yes well, I'm not to sure about that one vike, i dont know what land we share, also they're not an exploration company and their main asset is the PSA license of the Songo Songo producing gas field which they manage and also which is due to come to the end of its 25 year term 2025 i think.

yes Ufufuo, also this from H/Y Report

"Aminex has prepared a perforation strategy for a lower zone within the reservoir and an alternative remedial work programme intended to establish fluid levels in the wellbore, reservoir pressure and to unload potential fluid using foam treatment."

"The Company is working with the TPDC on agreed methods to handle wellbore fluids which will potentially be unloaded during operations on the well. Agreement and planning will be required prior to undertaking operations, including resolution on the outstanding receivables of US$8.34 million for previous gas sales from KNDL and related late payment interest."

"Kiliwani remediation."

i wonder ?
