PARIS, France — TotalEnergies has discovered oil and gas in the Ntokon prospect in the OML 102 permit, 60 km offshore southeast Nigeria.
The Ntokon-1AX well encountered 38 m of light oil and 15 m of gas, while the subsequent Ntokon-1G1 sidetrack intersected 73 m of light oil in well-developed and good-quality tanks.
Ntokon-1G1 has since tested up to 5,000 bbl/d of 40°API oil.
The location is 20 km from the Ofon Field facilities on the same permit, and Ntokon will likely be developed through the infrastructure.
The discovery “opens up promising prospects for a new connection development," said Nicolas Terraz, president of Exploration & Production with TotalEnergies. "Following the start of production of Ikike on OML 99 in 2022, this new discovery confirms the ability of proximity exploration to generate value…”
TotalEnergies EP Nigeria has a 40% operated interest, in partnership with NNPC (60%).
