SUMMARYMzia is a very large gas field, of Cretaceous age, located in the Ruvuma Basin within the Block 1 licence, offshore Tanzania (Figure 1).In this presentation we will discuss how our understanding of the field has evolved from the initial identification of the prospect on 2D seismic data through to appraisal well drilling, with a particular emphasis on how the depositional setting has influenced the unusual sedimentology of the field.
