This program will begin with the drilling of a new well 25 kilometers northwest of Tendrara's TE-5 well where the company's estimates range from 0.4 to 1.2 trillion cubic feet of gas. The second new well will be located 20 kilometers northeast the TE-5, at a place called Lakbir. «This larger target is an extension of the TAGI play and it is estimated between 1.2 TCF and 5 TCF, with the mid-case estimate set at 2.6 TCF.,» the company said.
