Two exploration wells drilled on blocks operated by Shell off Tanzania have come up dry.
One of Shell’s project partners, London-listed Ophir Energy, said the Kitatange and Bunju wells in blocks one and four had been drilled safely and on time.
But no hydrocarbons were found, according to Ophir, which holds 20% interests in the assets.
Shell has held 60% of the licences since its takeover of BP Group, while Pavilion Energy holds 20%.
The Noble Globetrotter 2 rig has been demobilised from site, Ophir said.
