Tullow Oil reported that the Enyenra-4A appraisal well, in the Deepwater Tano license offshore Ghana, has successfully encountered oil in very good quality sandstone reservoirs.

The Africa-focused firm also reported that good evidence of communication with the Owo-1 discovery wells and the Enyenra appraisal wells confirms the significant extent of the Enyenra light oil field.

Located just under 4.5 miles (7 kilometers) south west of Enyenra-2A and almost 13 miles (21 kilometers) south of the Enyenra-3A well which defined the northern end of the Enyenra oil field, the Enyenra-4A well was drilled to define the southern extent of the field.
