    RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — Petrobras has discovered gas in deepwater offshore Colombia.

    The Uchuva-1 well was drilled in the Tayrona Block, with Petrobras as operator with 44.44% interest, in partnership with Ecopetrol (55.56%).

    The location is 32 km from the coast and 76 km from Santa Marta city in 830 m water depth.

    Petrobras credited the consortium's actions to enhance use of data through applying new geological and geophysical technological solutions, supported by its experience in deepwater operations.

    The partners will seek to delineate the extent of the gas accumulation. Uchuva boosts prospects for developing a new frontier of exploration and production in Colombia, Petrobras added.

    The FPSO Carioca MV30 is deployed for operations in the Sépia Field operated by Petrobras, located in the giant presalt region of the Santos Basin some 200 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at a water depth approximately 2,200 m.

    A single realization (P90) of effective porosity from geostatistical inversion for a reservoir layer in a producing presalt field offshore Brazil enhances the understanding of reservoir quality for field development planning. This model was generated using data processed with the latest CGG imaging technology and RockMod geostatistical inversion to integrate all available information, including seismic, well data and other a-priori information to derive more accurate reservoir property estimates and understand their uncertainty.
