Rio de Janeiro \u2013 On this Friday (4th), the Brazilian oil company Petrobras announced the discovery of more oil in the pre-salt area of the Campos Basin, off the Northern coast of the state litoral of Rio de Janeiro.<\/p>\n
In a statement, the oil company informs that the oil is located at a depth of 648 metres, in the Marlim Field, and that approximately 5,000 metres were drilled in order for the reservoir to be reached.<\/p>\n
\u201cPreliminary estimates point to potential recoverable around 380 million barrels of oil equivalent. Further testing should assess the productivity of these reservoirs,\u201d says the statement.<\/p>\n
According to Petrobras, the new well is located in an area near the existing infrastructure at the Marlim and Voador fields, and 4.5 kilometres away from the P-27 platform, \u201cwhich should make the field\u2019s development easier, shorten the period required for production to start, and possibly reduce the investment needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The state-owned company informed that the new discovery will be submitted soon to the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency (ANP, in the Portuguese acronym).<\/p>\n
