LONDON, March 16 (UPI) -- Africa-focused energy company Tullow Oil said it made its most significant find yet in a northern Kenyan reserve area not previously known to hold oil.
Tullow said it found good samples of oil in the cores taken from a well in the so-called Cheptuket-1 well in the Kerio Valley basin in northern Kenya. Dubbed a wildcat well, or a frontier area not previously known to contain oil, the company said it was its most significant find yet in the region.
