TotalEnergies discovers oil, gas at Ntokon offshore Nigeria

TotalEnergies SE has discovered oil and gas at Ntokon on OML102 offshore Nigeria. In shallow waters 60 km off the southeast coast, the Ntokon-1AX discovery well encountered 38 m of net oil pay and 15 m of net gas pay, while its side-track Ntokon-1G1 encountered 73 m of net oil pay, in what the company described as well-developed and excellent quality reservoirs.

Ntokon-1G1 tested successfully up to a maximum rate of about 5,000 b/d of 40° API oil.

Ntokon is 20 km from Ofon field infrastructure on OML102 and TotalEnergies plans to develop it via tie-back. OML102’s remaining recoverable reserves total roughly 80 MMboe.

The company last year started production of the Ikike tie-back on OML99 (OGJ Online, July 25, 2022).

OML 102 is operated by TotalEnergies EP Nigeria (40%), alongside partner NNPC Ltd. (60%).
