According to the company’s press statement, a thick section (approximately 250 meters) of reservoirs was drilled and light oil was found, sampled via tests at depths beginning at 4,900 meters. Formation tests aimed to assess the productivity of block BMF 11 are scheduled to begin in the next few weeks.
