HOUSTON, Jan. 24 -- Exploration success off Ghana at the Jubilee discovery, formerly Mahogany and Hyedua, has opened a new play off Ivory Coast in Upper Cretaceous turbidite sands, said Tullow Oil PLC, London.
The new play and a previously discovered play in tilted Albian fault blocks such as Espoir field and the East Grand Lahou prospect in Block CI-105, both extend throughout the West Africa Transform Margin.
Tullow holds nine licenses in these fairways, three off Ghana and six off Ivory Coast, and expects to drill in both plays in 2008.
