高浦能源公司在纳米比亚近海奥兰治盆地中心的持续勘探活动中又发现了石油。2813A 和 2814B 区块受石油勘探许可证 83 (PEL 83) 管辖，勘探是通过 Odfjell Drilling 的 Hercules 深水恶劣环境半潜式钻井平台进行的。

继 1 月份提供的最新更新之后，Galp 及其合作伙伴 NAMCOR 和 Custos 已成功将 Mopane-2X 井钻探至 PEL 83 的指定深度。钻井作业在高质量储层中发现了重要的轻油柱。AVO-3勘探目标、AVO-1评估目标和更深的目标均已完成取芯和记录。

AVO-1 评价目标发现与位于东部约 8 公里处的 Mopane-1X 发现井相同的压力状态，证实了其横向延伸。该钻机将于 4 月初返回 Mopane-1X 井位进行钻杆测试。Galp 将在未来几周内继续分析获得的数据，以评估这些发现的商业性。

Galp Energia has made another oil discovery during its continued exploration campaign offshore Namibia, in the heart of the Orange Basin. Blocks 2813A and 2814B are governed by Petroleum Exploration License 83 (PEL 83) and the exploration was carried out with Odfjell Drilling’s Hercules deepwater harsh-environment semisubmersible rig.

Further to previous updates provided in January, Galp and its partners NAMCOR and Custos have successfully drilled the Mopane-2X well to its designated depth on PEL 83. Drilling operations encountered a significant column with light oil in reservoirs of high quality. The AVO-3 exploration target, the AVO-1 appraisal target and a deeper target were fully cored and logged.

The AVO-1 appraisal target found the same pressure regime as in the Mopane-1X discovery well located around 8 km to the east, confirming its lateral extension. The rig is set to return to the Mopane-1X well location to conduct a drill stem test until early April. Galp will continue to analyze the acquired data during the coming weeks to assess the commerciality of the discoveries.
