BW Energy has confirmed the substantial oil discovery with good reservoir and fluid quality at an appraisal well in the Bourdon Prospect offshore Gabon, which unveiled the potential of establishing a new development cluster in the area.
According to BW Energy, the second sidetrack DBM-1 ST2 well confirmed the substantial oil discovery with good reservoir and fluid quality of the Bourdon prospect in the Dussafu Licence.
Management estimates indicate 56 million barrels oil in place of which approximately 25 million barrels are considered recoverable.
The well was drilled with Bor Drilling’s Norve jack-up rig to a total depth of 4,731 metres.
Initial data shows that oil from Bourdon field has the lowest viscosity of the Dussafu discoveries measuring an average of 3.5 centipoise (cp), compared to 5 cp and 7 cp for the Hibiscus / Tortue and Ruche fields, respectively.
Evaluation of logging data and formation pressure measurements confirm approximately 11.2 metres of pay in an overall hydrocarbon column of 35.2 metres in the Gamba formation.
Bourdon is located approximately 15 kilometres west of FPSO BW Adolo
