“Subject to the results of the flow tests, the well could potentially give it a major breakthrough in terms of production and cash flow and would be an excellent start to the Tilapia field development program,” stated David Sefton, Managing Director of Anglo African Oil & Gas, according to Africa News.

The firm expects that around 400 barrels of oil could be produced from TLP-101 per day.

Anglo African Oil & Gas will relaunch drilling at TLP-103C, which the firm raised £6mn (US$7.66mn) for.

“The money raised in this placing enables us to complete the TLP-103C well, the results from which so far have hopefully repaid shareholders’ confidence in the company,” Sefton commented, MorningStar reported.
