Hess Chews Dust in the Tano

In Ghana, Hess has completed drilling operations on the Ankobra-1 well, located on the Deepwater Tano Cape Three Points license, without encountering commercially significant hydrocarbons. The well was drilled to a depth of 3962metres in 1732metres of water. Hess holds a 90 percent interest in the license in partnership with Ghana National Petroleum Company. Hess is currently acquiring 1618 square kilometres of new 3D seismic in anticipation of a well to be drilled in the unexplored western half of the license areas.
