BG Group and Ophir Energy have resumed their appraisal and satellite drilling campaign around the Jodari field in block 1 off the coast of Tanzania. Drillship Deepsea Metro 1 has returned to the East African play and will start a new multi-well campaign that includes the Jodari North-1 and Jodari South-1 probes and a re-entry into the Jodari-1 discovery well, said Ophir.The partners are working to define further the resource potential of the Jodari discovery and to confirm the field as an anchor asset to support Tanzania’s first multi-train LNG export development.The Jodari-1 discovery was made earlier this year and proved 4.5 trillion cubic feet of gas in place in the Lower Tertiary intraslope channel play.To date, BG and Ophir have discovered 13.5 Tcf to 21 Tcf of gas in place across blocks 1, 3 and 4 off Tanzania. BG operates the blocks with a 60% interest while Ophir holds 40%.
