Rovuma
exploration
licence
covers
a
15,000
square
kilometre
area,
onshore
northeastern
Mozambique.
"This
extension
will
allow
the
partners
to
further
evaluate
the
data
from
the
Mecupa-1
well
before
proceeding
with
further
drilling
commitments",
said
Artumas
chief
executive
Bob
McBean.
Mecupa-1
was
drilled
at
the
end
of
last
year
and
Artumas
said
excellent
reservoir
sands
and
indications
of
hydrocarbons
were
encountered
in
the
well
which
provided
encouragement
for
further
exploration.

an
11.59%
interest
in
the
licence
