Cameroon: Dry well for Kosmos


Issue 255 - 31 May 2013 | 1 minute read

Kosmos Energy has said that the onshore Sipo-1 exploration well on the Ndian River Block in the Rio del Rey Basin did not find commercial hydrocarbons. The well was drilled to a total depth of 1,725 metres, targeting the Miocene Isongo formation. Oil and gas shows indicated a working petroleum system but the well failed to encounter commercial reservoirs, Kosmos said. The well completes Kosmos’ drilling commitment on the block and will now be plugged and abandoned. Kosmos licensed the block in January 2007 and had been hoping to find a farm-in partner.
