I think you are getting mixed up. SC
Aminex and Tullow Oil have a history of involvement in the Ruvuma Basin in Tanzania, specifically related to the Ntorya prospect. Initially, Aminex was the operator of the Ntorya-1 well, with Tullow later becoming involved and taking over operatorship. Eventually, Aminex regained operatorship of the Ruvuma Basin. Aminex estimates the Ntorya prospect to have a 20% probability of success and a mean recoverable resource potential of 100 million barrels of oil.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Initial Involvement:
Aminex initially held 100% interest in the Ruvuma PSA (Production Sharing Agreement) and acquired the initial seismic data.
Tullow's Entry:
Tullow joined the joint venture in 2008 and assumed operatorship of the Ntorya-1 well.
Ntorya-1 Drilling:
Aminex announced the drilling of the Ntorya-1 well in 2010, with Tullow as the operator.
Tullow's Withdrawal:
Tullow later decided not to participate in deepening the Ntorya-1 well.
Aminex Regains Operatorship:
Aminex took back operatorship of the Ruvuma Basin, with Tullow's continued support.
Ruvuma Basin Operations:
Aminex operates through its subsidiary, Ndovu Resources Limited, in Tanzania, with strong relationships with local stakeholders and the Tanzanian Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC).
Ntorya Prospect:
The Ntorya prospect is considered to be a high-potential area within the Ruvuma Basin.
And the rest they say is history...
