HOUSTON, Jan. 11 -- Total SA, operator of Block 32 off Angola, and Sonangol EP reported that an ultradeepwater delineation well has confirmed the commercial potential of the adjacent Gengibre-1 oil discovery (OGJ Online, June 10, 2005).
The Gengibre-2 appraisal, 100 miles off the Angolan coast in 5,564 ft of water, was drilled to a TD of 14,245 ft. On test, the well flowed oil at a rate of 4,540 b/d from a Miocene reservoir and 5,100 b/d from an Oligocene reservoir.
Technical studies are under way for joint development of the discoveries.
