New Gas Condensate Discovery on Luiperd Prospect, Offshore South Africa
Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Total announced a gas condensate discovery on the Luiperd prospect, offshore South Africa. The #1-Luiperd was drilled to about 3,400 m and encountered 73 m of net gas condensate pay in well-developed, good quality Lower Cretaceous reservoirs. Coring and wireline logging are planned to assess the dynamic reservoir characteristics and deliverability. The discovery is on Block 11B/12B in the Outeniqua Basin, and it follows the adjacent play opening Brulpadda discovery, which proved a significant new petroleum province in the region. Water depth at the site is 1,795 m. The venture is operated by Paris-based Total with a 45% working interest, along with Qatar Petroleum (25%), CNR International (20%) and Main Street, a South African consortium (10%).
