BW Energy 于 2025 年 3 月 7 日宣布，其第二口侧钻井 DBM-1 ST2 证实了在加蓬海上 Dussafu 许可区块的 Bourdon 远景区发现了储层和流体质量良好的大量石油。管理层估计，该油田储量为 5600 万桶，其中约 2500 万桶被认为可采。

“该评估井证实了按照MaBoMo蓝图建立包含生产设施的新开发集群的潜力。我们预计至少会有四口生产井，”BW Energy首席执行官Carl K. Arnet表示。“我们将继续成功拓展Dussafu储量基地，该储量基地与多个尚未钻探的其他勘探区一起，将支持加蓬的长期生产和价值创造。”

初步数据显示，Bourdon 油田的石油粘度是 Dussafu 发现的油田中最低的，平均为 3.5 厘泊 (cp)，而 Hibiscus/Tortue 和 Ruche 油田的石油粘度分别为 5 cp 和 7 cp。

测井数据评估和地层压力测量结果确认，Gamba 地层中总烃柱厚度为 35.2 米，其中产油层厚度约为 11.2 米。该井由 Norve 自升式钻井平台钻探，总井深为 4,731 米。

Bourdon位于FPSO BW Adolo以西约15公里处，MaBoMo设施东南7.5公里处。这一发现将使该公司能够获得其2024年储量报表中未涵盖的额外储量。

BW Energy’s second sidetrack DBM-1 ST2 well confirmed the substantial oil discovery with good reservoir and fluid quality of the Bourdon prospect in the Dussafu License offshore Gabon, announced on 7 March 2025. Management estimates indicate 56 million barrels oil in place of which approximately 25 million barrels are considered recoverable.

“The appraisal well confirms the potential for establishing a new development cluster with a production facility following the MaBoMo blueprint. We expect at least four producing wells,” said Carl K. Arnet, CEO of BW Energy. “We continue to successfully expand the Dussafu reserve base which, together with multiple additional prospects yet to be to be drilled, will support long-term production and value-creation in Gabon.”

Initial data shows that oil from Bourdon field has the lowest viscosity of the Dussafu discoveries measuring an average of 3.5 centipoise (cp), compared to 5 cp and 7 cp for the Hibiscus/Tortue and Ruche fields, respectively.

Evaluation of logging data and formation pressure measurements confirm approximately 11.2 m of pay in an overall hydrocarbon column of 35.2 m in the Gamba formation. The well was drilled by the Norve jack-up rig to a total depth of 4,731 m.

Bourdon is located approximately 15 km west of FPSO BW Adolo and 7.5 km southeast of the MaBoMo facility. The discovery will enable the company to book additional reserves not included in its 2024 Statement of Reserves.
