Sintana Energy 提供了有关纳米比亚 Orange Basin 2813A 和 2814B 区块第二次勘探和评估活动的最新进展。PEL 83 的第二次活动旨在进一步了解 Mopane 综合体的范围和质量。

2023 年第四季度开始的首次两井勘探活动在优质储层砂中发现多处大量轻质油柱，初步估计原始石油储量 (OOIP) 为 100 亿桶油当量。还进行了钻杆测试，结果基础设施约束流量为 14,000 桶油当量。

初步分析表明，储层孔隙度好、压力高、渗透率高，油柱体积大，油粘度极低，不含二氧化碳和硫化氢。试井期间的流量已达到允许的最大限度，莫帕尼油田有望成为一项重要的商业发现。

这些区块由 PEL 83 管理，并由葡萄牙 Galp 的子公司运营。Sintana 间接持有 Custos Energy (Pty) Ltd.（“ustos”）的 49% 权益，而 Custos 又拥有 PEL 83 的 10% 工作权益。纳米比亚国家石油公司 NAMCOR 也拥有 10% 的工作权益。

Sintana Energy provided an update regarding a second exploration and appraisal campaign on blocks 2813A and 2814B in Namibia’s Orange Basin.  This second campaign on PEL 83 is predicated on providing additional insights into the scope and quality of the Mopane complex.

An inaugural two-well exploration campaign that commenced in Q4 2023 resulted in multiple discoveries of significant columns of light oil in high-quality reservoir sands providing for an initial estimate of original oil in place (OOIP) of 10 billion barrels of oil equivalent. A drill stem test was also conducted resulting in an infrastructure constrained flow of 14,000 boed.

Initial analysis suggests the reservoirs have good porosities, high pressures and high permeabilities in large hydrocarbon columns with very low oil viscosity, and no CO2 nor H2S. The flows achieved during the well test have reached the maximum allowed limits, positioning Mopane as, potentially, an important commercial discovery.

The blocks are governed by PEL 83 and operated by a subsidiary of Galp of Portugal. Sintana maintains an indirect 49% interest in Custos Energy (Pty) Ltd. (“Custos”), which in turn owns a 10% working interest owner in PEL 83. NAMCOR, the National Petroleum Company of Namibia, also maintains a 10% working interest.
