Panoro Energy is pleased to announce the start of oil production from the Tortue Phase 2 field development project in the Dussafu Marin Permit, offshore Gabon. The Gamba well DTM-5H was successfully brought online as of 4th March, ahead of schedule. The second well, DTM-4H, is scheduled to be onstream in the coming week.

The Tortue Phase 2 development consists of four production wells, tied back to the FPSO BW Adolo, with DTM-4H and DTM-5H wells being the first of two clusters. The second cluster is currently being drilled and is scheduled to begin production by June 2020. Panoro has a 7.5% non-operated working interest in the Dussafu Marin Permit.

John Hamilton, CEO Panoro said: “We are very pleased for all stakeholders with first oil from the Tortue Phase 2 development and look forward to the material growth in Dussafu production.”
