Anglo African Oil & Gas said it had entered into an agreement with Societe de Forage Petroliers for a rig to carry out drilling operations on well TLP-103C-ST at the Tilapia field in the Republic of Congo

The rig agreement gives AAOG the right to contract the rig for TLP-103C-ST at Tilapia, in which the company had a 56% interest, and a further four wells at its discretion.

Drilling operations at TLP-103C-ST could commence either in the first quarter or the second of 2020.

The operational plan is to re-enter the existing TLP-103C well and drill the new sidetrack just below the mengo formation, with the company saying it believed that the sidetrack operations had an attractive risk-to-reward profile.
