According to Solo. the well was suspended for future production.Aminex expects that the Ntorya appraisal area includes gross Pmean GIIP of 466 billion cubic ft.
Gas from longer-term development of the field will be distributed to the Natural Gas Pipeline. Solo and Aminex are planning to implement solutions for early monetisation of Ntorya gas before the full development of the field.
