The company intersected a 44 metre net gross hydrocarbon bearing zone in the Sunbird-1.
Minority partner Pancontinental Oil & Gas said the discovery was unlikely to be commercial “due to the estimated size”.
The company previously revealed it had hit hydrocarbons but has now sized up the extent of the column thanks to wireline log data.
BG hit hydrocarbons in the well off the Kenyan coast in the Sunbird Miocene Pinnacle Reef, recovering a net pay thickness of 28 metres.
