BW Power introduced that its second sidetrack DBM-1 ST2 effectively has confirmed the substantial oil discovery with good reservoir and fluid high quality of the Bourdon prospect within the Dussafu License offshore Gabon. Administration estimates point out 56 million barrels of oil rather than which roughly 25 million barrels are thought of recoverable.
“The appraisal effectively confirms the potential for establishing a brand new growth cluster with a manufacturing facility following the MaBoMo blueprint. We count on a minimum of 4 producing wells,” stated Carl Okay. Arnet, CEO of BW Power. “We proceed to efficiently broaden the Dussafu reserve base which, along with a number of extra prospects but to be to be drilled, will assist long-term manufacturing and value-creation in Gabon.”
Preliminary information reveals that oil from Bourdon area has the bottom viscosity of the Dussafu discoveries measuring a mean of three.5 centipoise (cp), in comparison with 5 cp and seven cp for the Hibiscus / Tortue and Ruche fields, respectively.
Analysis of logging information and formation stress measurements affirm roughly 11.2 meters of pay in an general hydrocarbon column of 35.2 meters within the Gamba formation. The effectively was drilled by the Norve jack-up rig to a complete depth of 4,731 meters.
Bourdon is positioned roughly 15 kilometers west of FPSO BW Adolo and seven.5 kilometers southeast of the MaBoMo facility. The invention will allow BW Power to guide extra reserves not included in its 2024 Assertion of Reserves.
