A unit of Total SA has tested light oil at high rates in a discovery in the southeastern corner of Oil Mining Lease 102 offshore Nigeria.

The Total E&P Nigeria Ltd. Etisong North-1 well bottomed at 2,387 m TD in 80 m of water and encountered three reservoirs, one of which flowed 8,500 b/d of 40° gravity oil on test. The well is 65 km off Nigeria’s southeastern coast and about 15 km southeast of Ofon oil field (OGJ Online, July 24, 2007).

An earlier discovery on OML 102, Etisong-1, drilled to 2,207 m in 70 m of water, tested more than 6,000 b/d of oil of similar quality from turbiditic reservoirs (OGJ Online, Dec. 29, 2008).

The Total subsidiary operates the license with a 40% interest. Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. holds 60%.

The Future of US Refining

When Fri, Feb 6, 2015

Oil & Gas Journal’s Feb. 6, 2015, webcast will focus on the future of US refining as various forces this year conspire to pull the industry in different directions. Lower oil prices generally reduce feedstock costs, but they have also lowered refiners’ returns, as 2015 begins with refined products priced at lows not seen in years. If lower per-barrel crude prices dampen production of lighter crudes among shale plays, what will happen to refiners’ plans to export more barrels of lighter crudes? And as always, refiners will be affected by government regulations, particularly those that suppress demand, increase costs, or limit access to markets or supply.
