Eni Completes Appraisal Well In Offshore Angola Agogo Prospect
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Eni completed #2-Agogo, the first appraisal well of the Agogo discovery in Block 15/06, offshore Angola. The venture confirmed the 650 MMbbl of in-place oil at the field and indicates further upside in its northern sector where additional appraisal drilling is planned. The #2-Agogo was drilled to 3,949 m and is in 1,700 m of water and hit 58 m net of 31-degree-gravity oil in Miocene and Oligocene sandstones with excellent petrophysical characteristics. The results confirm the extension of the Agogo reservoir to the north of the discovery well and below the salt diapirs. The highly deviated well was designed to reach the sequences below the salt diapirs and prove the reservoir and oil charge in this sector of the Agogo structure. Initial estimates indicate a production capacity of more than 15 MMbbl of oil per day. Eni is the operator of Block 15/16 with 36.8421% interest and partners include Sonangol (36.8421%) and SSI Fifteen Ltd. (26.3158%).
