Development Strategy

Phased Approach to Resource Development

Our two-phase strategy accelerates first oil while optimizing long-term recovery. Phase 1 utilizes Early Production Facilities to gather critical reservoir data, informing Phase 2's full-scale Central Processing Facility design.

Phase 1: Early Production

Accelerated first oil using rental EPFs and existing wellpads. Road transport to KPRL Mombasa provides operational flexibility during data gathering.

Target Rate 20,000 bpd
Fields Ngamia & Amosing
Wells 48 total (24/24)
Transport 600 Trucks
Timeline Dec 2026 - 2031

Phase 2: Full Development

Optimized development with Central Processing Facility, expanding to all six fields. Rail transport increases efficiency and reduces environmental impact.

Target Rate 50,000 bpd
Fields All Six Discoveries
Facility Central CPF
Transport 155 Rail Wagons
Timeline 2031+

Basin Overview

Six Discovery Fields

South Lokichar Basin contains six proven oil discoveries with complex fluvial-lacustrine reservoirs from the Lower to Middle Miocene period.

Ngamia Field

Largest discovery with multiple stacked reservoir zones. Key contributor to Phase 1 production with 11 wellpads planned for full development.

Amosing Field

Second major producing field with complex reservoir characteristics. Successful water injection trials completed with 3 wellpads in Phase 1.

Twiga Field

Significant resource potential with integrated development approach. Phase 2 development target connecting to CPF.

Etom Field

Additional discovery for Phase 2 expansion. Extends plateau production period with connection via gathering system.

Agete Field

Strategic location for Phase 2 integration. Reservoir optimization through advanced modeling and completion technology.

Ekales Field

Complementary resource adding to long-term production sustainability. Full integration with CPF infrastructure network.
