In March 2020, Discover â partner of Tullow in the Block 35, 36 and 37 â reported it has started a farm-out process during the month. The licence is located in water ranging in depths between 2,500 to 3,000 m within the Outer Rovuma Fan, roughly 100 km to the east of the large Mozambican gas discoveries.  Tullow may drill a well in the licence in 2021. It is believed that the well will test two large stratigraphic prospects that are partially overlapping. The mid-Eocene prospect has a Pmean prospective resource of 5.8 Bbbl (for the oil case) or 3.7 Bboe (for the gas case). The Cenomanian prospect has a Pmean prospective resource of 3.5 Bbbl (oil) or 2.5 Bboe (gas). In October 2019, Tullow completed a 3,000 sq km 3D seismic data over the licence.  Interest in the licence is held by Tullow Comoros Ltd (35% + operator), Discover Exploration Comoros BV (25%) and Bahari Resources Ltd (40%, wholly owned subsidiary of Discover Exploration Ltd).  Background Information  The companies were awarded the licence in March 2014. In May 2014 the companies started the acquisition of a 2,330 km 2D infill seismic survey being part of the GX Technology (ION Geoventures) East Africa SPAN programme. The survey was completed in early August 2014. The seismic survey fulfilled the commitments for the initial period that ends in March 2018.  The data were reported of excellent quality, and initial interpretation suggested an extension of the Mozambican reservoir play beneath the Comoro acreage. Vast areal extend of Paleocene fan has been interpreted over Blocks 35, 36 and 37, with possible source rock in the oil window. The previous 2D seismic survey in the area was shot in 1H 2011, also part of the East Africa SPAN programme.   Commitment for the second exploration phase (2018 to 2021) is to acquire either 2D or 3D seismic data. Commitment for the last and third exploration phase is to drill one exploration well.   The Comorosâ acreage is a frontier area. The main potential for O&G business appears to be the eastern extension of the Rovuma Delta where deepwater fan stratigraphic plays are expected to be found. Faulting along the ridge separating the Comoros from East Africa Continent is also known to have created large anticlinal structures
