March 19 (LNGJ) - Ophir Energy, the UK company with natural gas discoveries for LNG projects offshore Tanzania in East Africa and Equatorial Guinea in West Africa has closed drilling at its Padouck Deep-1 well offshore the African country of Gabon without success. Ophir Chief Executive Nick Cooper said: "The Padouck Deep-1 result is disappointing but its failure appears to be prospect-specific and does not dampen our enthusiasm for the broader pre-salt play offshore Gabon."
