Petrobras completed the formation testing on well 3-BRSA-1286-SES, located in concession BM-SEAL-11, in ultra-deep waters of Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, offshore Brazil.
Drilling activities have confirmed two light oil and gas bearing compartments: the upper one is 44m-thick while the lower one is 11m, the company said. The second compartment represents a new discovery for the area.
The well is 102.7km from the city Aracaju (SE) and 10.3km from the discovery well, at a water depth of 2467m. Results of the formation test have confirmed the occurrence of light oil (37º API) and the good productivity of the reservoirs.
This is the third extension well at Farfan, which was discovered in October 2012. An announcement regarding the well’s initial drilling results was made on February 2 of this year.
The consortium, operated by Petrobras (60%) in partnership with IBV-Brasil (40%), will proceed with the Discovery Evaluation Plan (PAD).
