Total’s main discovery well was close to the edge of the structure, and the seismic quality wasn't great at the time
TRP have reprocessed with 3D and ifrntified further reservoirs so the Appraisal drilling is in the optimal location to appraise the initial discovery but will also test additional reservoirs which are visible on the 3D seismic, but werent present at the edge of the Njonji structure where NJOM-1 was drilled by TOTAL
After NJOM-3, the next well, in addition to being a production well, will also test some reservoir layers that are to connected to the original discovery wells, possibly containing a further 30 million bbls.
There are also other structures identified on the license which have not yet been drilled, so they are exploration opportunities, but could be quite substantial (over 100 million bbls) and once Njomi is in production then we will have a window when we can drill exploration wells in those other structures and recover costs from our Njonji production.
