BW Energy 在加蓬近海 Dussafu 许可区块的 Bourdon 油田发现了大量储层质量良好的石油。
测井数据和地层压力测量的评估证实，Gamba 地层中总碳氢化合物柱长 45 米，其中约 34 米为产层，是迄今为止在 Dussafu 许可区发现的最大碳氢化合物柱。该井由 Norve 自升式钻井平台钻探，总深度为 4,135 米。
这一发现将使该公司能够登记 2024 年储量报表中未包括的额外储量。
BW Energy 首席执行官 Carl K. Arnet 指出，“我们现在将仔细审查钻探结果，但初步数据表明，有可能按照 MaBoMo 蓝图建立一个新的开发集群和生产设施。我们正在评估第二个侧钻，以进一步评估这一发现”。
Bourdon 位于 BW Adolo FPSO 以西约 15 公里处，MaBoMo 设施东南 7.5 公里处。
BW Energy made a substantial oil discovery with good reservoir quality on the Bourdon prospect in the Dussafu license offshore Gabon.
Evaluation of logging data and formation pressure measurements confirm approximately 34 m of pay in an overall hydrocarbon column of 45 m in the Gamba formation, making it the largest hydrocarbon column discovered to date in the Dussafu licencse. The well was drilled by the Norve jackup rig to a total depth of 4,135 m.
The discovery will enable the Company to book additional reserves not included in its 2024 Statement of Reserves.
Carl K. Arnet, CEO of BW Energy, noted, “We will now carefully review the drilling results, but initial data indicates the potential for establishing a new development cluster with a production facility following the MaBoMo blueprint. We are evaluating a second sidetrack to further appraise the discovery”.
Bourdon is located approximately 15 km west of the BW Adolo FPSO and 7.5 km southeast of the MaBoMo facility.
