Bharat PetroResources (BPRL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bharat Petroleum Corporation (BPCL), along with its partner Anadarko Petroleum Corporation of the US, has encountered more than 145 net meters of natural gas in reservoir sands with a gross column of more than 365 metres.
BPRL Ventures Mozambique, an overseas subsidiary of BPRL, holds a 10 per cent participating interest in this block. Anadarko also expects to drill two to four additional exploration wells in the Rovuma Basin this year, with initial well results determining which prospects are drilled next.
