Issue 347 - 02 Jun 2017 | 1 minute read

Heritage Oil plans an exploration well on the Hammerkop prospect on the South Rukwa Block in June 2018. Managing director Jim Baban told ITE Group’s Africa Independents’ Forum in London on 25 May that the company saw analogues with the 2007 Kingfisher discovery in Uganda’s Albertine Graben that the same Heritage exploration team had also worked on. To drill the well, a rig will need to be transported by rail to Mbeya then by road to the drillsite, 1,000km inland.
