Custos Energy 提供了有关位于纳米比亚橙色盆地中心的 2813A 和 2814B 区块第二次勘探和评估活动的最新进展。PEL 83 合资伙伴已成功在 PEL83 上钻探、取芯和记录 Mopane-3X 井（井号 5），该井于 2025 年 1 月 2 日开钻。

Mopane-3X 距离第一口 Mopane-1X 井 18 公里，目标是两个叠层油藏 AVO-10 和 AVO-13，以及更深的砂层，位于 Mopane 综合体的东南地区，水深约为 1,200 米。

初步数据证实，AVO-10 的优质砂岩中存在大量轻质油和凝析气柱。此外，AVO-13 和更深的砂岩中也证实存在轻质油柱，同样是在优质砂岩中。

储层测井测量证实了良好的孔隙度、高压和高渗透率。初始流体样品显示油粘度低，CO2 和 H2S 浓度最低。样品已送去实验室测试。

所有获取的数据都将整合到油藏模型中，并支持规划潜在的进一步活动。专有的 3D 开发地震采集活动有望于 2025 年第一季度完成，随后将对获取的信息进行处理。

Custos Energy provided a further update regarding the second exploration and appraisal campaign on blocks 2813A and 2814B located in the heart of Namibia’s Orange Basin. The PEL 83 Joint Venture partners have successfully drilled, cored and logged the Mopane-3X well (Well #5) on PEL83, which spud on 2 January 2025.

Mopane-3X, located 18 km from the first Mopane-1X well, targeted two stacked prospects, AVO-10 and AVO-13, as well as a deeper sand, in the southeast region of the Mopane complex at an approximate water depth of 1,200 m.

Preliminary data confirmed significant columns of light oil and gas-condensate in high-quality sandstones across AVO-10. Further, the presence of light oil columns have been confirmed in AVO-13 and the deeper sand, again in high-quality sandstones.

Reservoir log measures confirm good porosities, high pressures and high permeabilities. Initial fluid samples show low oil viscosity and minimum CO2 and H2S concentrations. Samples have been sent for lab testing.

All acquired data will be integrated into the reservoir model and support the planning of potential further activities. The proprietary 3D development seismic acquisition campaign is on track to be completed in Q1 2025, with processing of the information acquired to follow.
