Petrobras completed a drill stem test (DST) on 1-BRSA-1383A-RJS wildcat well (Alto de Cabo Frio Central Noroeste) in the southern portion of Campos basin presalt, 230 km from Rio de Janeiro.
The well was drilled in 1,833 m of water in the Alto de Cabo Frio Central block. The test evaluated a thick interval of presalt carbonate reservoir rocks and confirmed good productivity. During the test, oil samples were collected and will be characterized by laboratory analyses. Petrobras will continue activities in the block to assess dimensions of the new accumulation.
Petrobras is operator of the block (50%) with partner BP Energy do Brasil Ltda. (50%).
