RIO DE JANEIRO – Petrobras has proven more oil at two discovered fields offshore southern Brazil.
Well 9-AB-135D-RJS was drilled in 450 m (1,476 ft) of water on the Albacora field in the presalt Campos basin, 184 km (114 mi) offshore Macaé, Rio de Janeiro.
It encountered around 214 m (702 ft) of reservoirs, with light oil confirmed via tests from a depth of 4,630 m (15,190 ft).
Well 9-BUZ-39DA-RJS is being drilled at present in 2,108 m (6,916 ft) of water on the southeastern part of the giant Búzios field in the presalt Santos basin, 210 km (130 mi) from Rio de Janeiro.
So far drilling has identified 208 m (682 ft) of reservoirs, confirming oil of the same quality as from other wells on the field. In this case, tests were conducted from a depth of 5,400 m (17,716 ft).
Petrobras operates Búzios in partnership with CNOOC and CNODC, also acquiring surplus volumes from the field last November under Brazil’s Transfer of Rights auction.
