Ghana: 'World-class' Jubilee oilfield larger than expected

THE JUBILEE oilfield, already described by Tullow Oil, the operator, as a world-class reservoir and under development for start-up in October next year, has been shown to be larger than expected. Results last month from two "bold step-out" wells, one in Kosmos' licence and one in Tullow's, have shown extensions to the southeast and to the northwest, while also confirming the excellent production characteristics of the reservoir.
