Rio de Janeiro – Petrobras issued a press statement yesterday (14) announcing one more oil and natural gas discovery in the pre-salt layer in Santos Basin. According to the company press statement, the discovery was made at reservoir BM-S-9, after the drilling of a well informally named Abar\u00e9 Oeste.<\/p>\n
The area is explored by Petrobras, which operates the block with 45% participation in a consortium with BG Group (30%) and Repsol (25%). According to the state-owned oil company, activities should proceed and necessary investment should be made in accordance with the Assessment Plan approved by the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency (ANP).<\/p>\n
According to Petrobras, the reservoir is located in the evaluation area of Well 1-SPS-50 (Carioca), some 290 kilometres off the coast of the State of S\u00e3o Paulo at a depth of 2,163 meters from the water line. This is the fourth well drilled in block BM-S-9. All of them proved the existence of hydrocarbons.<\/p>\n
The company added that Bloco BM-S-9 includes two areas for evaluation: the well denominated Guar\u00e1 and the one named Carioca.<\/p>\n
"The discovery was proved by means of a sampling made from reservoirs located at a depth of approximately 5,150 meters. Further analyses are being made with the samples for a better characterization of the oil that was found," according to the company press statement.<\/p>\n
