Posted on November 13, 2009 – 1:59 pm | by oilandgaspress.com
Petróleo Brasileiro s/a - Petrobras, announces that it has completed the drilling of the fourth well in the Tupi Evaluation Plan area and that the results reinforce the estimations of the estimated volume of 5 to 8 billion barrels of recoverable light oil and natural gas in the pre-salt reservoirs, located in ultra-deep Santos Basin waters.
The well 3-BRSA-755A-RJS (3-RJS-662A) is located 2,115 meters below the water line, nearly 265 km of the coast of Rio de Janeiro, and 18 km northeast of discovery well 1-RJS-628 (1-BRSA-369), known as Tupi.
A thick layer (approximately 250 meters) of light oil-bearing carbonate reservoirs (about 28o API) was drilled and sampled via cable tests at depths beginning at 4,900 meters.
Formation tests aimed to assess the productivity of the reservoirs are scheduled to begin in the next weeks.
The Consortium, formed by Petrobras (65% - Operator), BG Group (25%) and Galp (10%) to explore block BM-S-11, where Tupi is located, will carry on with the activities and investments contemplated in the Evaluation Plan which was approved by the ANP and which foresees the drilling of additional wells in the area.
