Mozambique: Wentworth seeks Rovuma partner

Wentworth Resources is starting a farm-out process for its Tembo Block onshore in the Rovuma Basin, ahead of an appraisal well on the Tembo-1 gas discovery planned for 2018. Anadarko Petroleum Corporation drilled Tembo-1 on the Rovuma Onshore Block in 2014, but opted to focus on the offshore, and pulled out, along with Maurel & Prom. Wentworth now has 85% in the Tembo Block, a smaller area of appraisal acreage of about 2,500km2 around the Tembo discovery. State oil company Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos has the other 15%.
