RIO DE JANEIRO – Petrobras has confirmed the extension an accumulation of hydrocarbons in the ultra-deep waters of the Espírito Santo basin postsalt deposits. Extension well 3-BRSA-1253D-ESS (ANP nomenclature)/3-ESS-219D (Petrobras nomenclature), known as Pudim, was drilled at a water depth of 1,886 m (6,188 ft) to confirm the discovery.

The well is located in the Brigadeiro Discovery Evaluation Plan area, 121 km (75 mi) off the coast of VitĂłria (EspĂ­rito Santo).

Petrobras says that log data analysis, fluid samples, and cable tests from reservoirs some 3,550 m (11,647 ft) deep confirm the presence of good-quality oil.

Petrobras is the operator (65%) of the consortium exploring the Brigadeiro Discovery Evaluation Plan area, in partnership with Shell Brasil PetrĂłleo Ltda (20%) and Inpex PetrĂłleo Santos Ltda (15%).
