（WO）Vaalco Energy 报告称，其在加蓬近海一口新开发井的初始产量约为 2,000 桶/天，并确认了其在科特迪瓦一个可能具有重大意义的近海项目的运营权。

这家总部位于休斯顿的独立公司表示，加蓬埃塔梅油田的埃塔梅 15H-ST 开发井已经钻探、完工并投入生产，日产原油稳定流量约为 2,000 桶，含水率为 38%。

该井在储层顶部附近的优质甘巴砂岩中具有 250 米的净油层水平段，目前正在积极管理，以稳定压力并优化储层性能。

Vaalco公司还在埃塔梅平台S1井位开钻了一口西埃塔梅勘探井。该井地质勘探成功概率为57%，预计将于3月中旬达到目标深度。如果成功，该井有望在2026年增加储量和产量。

在科特迪瓦，Vaalco公司被确认为海上CI-40区块Kossipo油田的作业者，持有60%的作业权益，其合作伙伴PetroCI公司持有40%的作业权益。该公司预计将于2026年下半年提交油田开发计划。

科西波油田的2C资源量估计约为1.02亿桶油当量，地质储量约为2.93亿桶油当量。该油田最初于2002年被发现，并于2019年进行了评估，当时一口井的日产量超过7000桶。

最新的海底节点地震数据为更新后的评估和开发计划提供了支持。“Baobab Ivorien”号浮式生产储卸油船目前位于非洲东海岸附近，预计将于3月底返回科特迪瓦近海，目标是在第二季度恢复生产。

“2026年伊始，我们便迎来了一些意义非凡的事件，”Vaalco首席执行官乔治·麦克斯韦尔表示。“我们已确认成为Kossipo油田的作业者，拥有60%的作业权益。该油田位于我们高产的CI-40区块Baobab油田西南方向，估计地质储量为2.93亿桶油当量。此外，加蓬钻探项目ET-15H-ST的良好开局也令我们感到欣慰，该钻井平台已稳定在日产量约2000桶。钻机目前仍停留在埃塔梅平台，正在西埃塔梅进行勘探钻探，该勘探项目地质成功率达57%，如果成功，将为加蓬增加产量和储量。”

(WO) — Vaalco Energy reported initial production of approximately 2,000 bopd from a new development well offshore Gabon and confirmed operatorship of a potentially material offshore project in Côte d’Ivoire.

The Houston-based independent said the Etame 15H-ST development well in Gabon’s Etame field has been drilled, completed and brought online, delivering a stabilized flow rate of approximately 2,000 gross barrels of oil per day with a 38% water cut.

The well includes a 250-meter lateral of net pay in high-quality Gamba sands near the top of the reservoir and is being actively managed to stabilize pressure and optimize reservoir performance.

Vaalco has also spudded a step-out exploration well in West Etame from the S1 slot on the Etame platform. The prospect carries a 57% chance of geologic success and is expected to reach target depth by mid-March. If successful, the well could add incremental reserves and production in 2026.

In Côte d’Ivoire, Vaalco was confirmed as operator with a 60% working interest in the Kossipo field on the offshore CI-40 Block, alongside partner PetroCI (40%). The company expects to submit a field development plan in the second half of 2026.

The Kossipo discovery is estimated to contain gross 2C resources of approximately 102 MMboe and 293 MMboe in place. The field was originally discovered in 2002 and appraised in 2019, when a well tested at more than 7,000 bopd.

New ocean bottom node seismic data is supporting an updated evaluation and development plan. The Baobab Ivorien FPSO is currently off the East coast of Africa and is expected to return offshore Côte d’Ivoire by late March, with production targeted to resume in the second quarter.

“We have begun 2026 with some very meaningful events," George Maxwell, Vaalco’s CEO, said. "We have been confirmed as the operator with a 60% working interest in the Kossipo field, a discovery with an estimated 293 MMboe in place located southwest from our highly productive Baobab field on the CI-40 Block. We are also pleased with the encouraging start of the Gabon drilling campaign, the ET-15H-ST which stabilized at approximately 2,000 bopd. The rig has remained on the Etame platform and is now drilling an exploration prospect in West Etame, that has a 57% chance of geological success and if successful could add production and additional reserves in Gabon.”
