Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Another discovery was announced by Rome-based Eni in offshore Angola Block 15/06. An exploratory, #1-NFW Agidigbo, was drilled to 3,800 m and hit a single hydrocarbon column composed with a gas cap of about 60 m and 100 m of light oil. The hydrocarbons are contained in Lower Miocene Sandstones with good petrophysical properties. Based on current testing, there is an estimated 300-400 MMbbl of oil in place. The five commercial discoveries on the block are estimated to contain up to 1.8 Bbbl of light oil in place with possible upside. The Block 15/06 joint venture partners are operator Eni with 36.8421%, Sonangol with 36.8421% and SSI Fifteen Ltd. with 26.3158%.
