Tullow Oil says it has found oil and gas at its Ngege-1 well in Uganda after drilling.
The well is the second in Tullow's exploration campaign in the Butiaba region.
Tullow's chief executive Aidan Heavey said this was the 11th well in the Butiaba region to encounter oil and gas. He said the find had extended the range over which oil had been discovered to 150 kilometres.
