Discoverer Americas Drillship Makes Big Gas Discovery Offshore Tanzania
Transocean’s 6th generation drillship Discoverer Americas drilled into a huge gas reservoir offshore Tanzania recently according to a statement today by Statoil, the operator of the rig. The Norwegian energy firm reports that the Giligiliani-1 discovery, located along the western side of block 2 at a 2,500-meter water depth, contains an estimated 1.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas bringing the total discovered reserves in Block 2 to roughly 21 trillion cubic feet. Between Statoil, BG Group and Ophir Energy, the total discovered gas reserves offshore Tanzania is around 38 trillion cubic feet. “This discovery has proven the gas play extends into the western part of block 2, which opens additional prospects,” commented Nick Maden, senior vice president for Statoil’s exploration activities in the Western Hemisphere. http://gcaptain.com/discoverer-americas-drillship-makes-big-gas-discovery-offshore-tanzania/
DISCOVERER AMERICAS 9400057
The "Discoverer Americas" has become the fourth offshore rig to leave the Gulf of Mexico since the "Deepwater Horizuon"-oil spill. A moratorium on Gulf deepwater drilling by the US administration in reaction to the deadly 20 April spill disaster has led drilling contractors to seek higher rates for vessels elsewhere. The rig was anchored off New Orleans on Sep 16, 2010.
