在 3/05 区块合资企业与安哥拉国家石油公司 (Sonangol) 签署商业协议，使用目前由安哥拉国家石油公司承包的 Borr Grid 自升式钻井平台后，Afentra 加快了其在安哥拉近海 3/05 区块的两口井钻探计划。

Pacassa SW勘探井预计将于近日开钻，钻井周期为80至90天。第二口井将是Pacassa SW注水井或Impala-2开发井，具体选择取决于第一口井的钻探结果。

Pacassa SW井的目标是Pacassa油田附近一个目前尚未钻探的断块，该断块潜在石油储量高达2.1亿桶，可采资源量高达7000万桶。该井将从Pacassa F4平台钻探，如果钻探成功，该平台将能够完成钻探并与现有生产基础设施连接。

Impala-2 井将从 Impala 井口平台钻探，距离现有的 Impala-1 生产井约 1000 米，目标是一个估计蕴藏高达 2 亿桶石油和高达 5000 万桶新增可采资源的油田。

Afentra accelerated its two-well drilling program on Block 3/05 offshore Angola after the Block 3/05 Joint Venture signed a commercial agreement with Sonangol to use the Borr Grid jackup, currently under contract to Sonangol.

The Pacassa SW exploration well is expected to spud in the coming days, with a drilling duration of 80 to 90 days. The second well will be either a Pacassa SW injection well or the Impala-2 development well, with the decision dependent on the outcome of the first well.

Pacassa SW targets a currently undrilled fault block adjacent to the Pacassa field, with potential for up to 210 mmbbls of oil in place and up to 70 mmbo of recoverable resources. The well will be drilled from the Pacassa F4 platform, which would allow completion and tie-in to existing production infrastructure in the event of a successful outcome.

Impala-2 would be drilled from the Impala wellhead platform approximately 1,000 m from the existing Impala-1 production well, targeting a field estimated to contain up to 200 mmbbls of oil in place and up to 50 mmbo of incremental recoverable resources.
