Description

Rome-based Eni has announced an oil discovery in offshore Angola Block 15/06 at the Agogo exploration prospect. The #1-NFW Agogo encountered a 203-m oil column with 120 m of net pay and 31-degree-gravity oil in sub-salt diapirs in Lower Miocene sandstones. The initial production capacity was about 20 Mbbl of oil per day. Based on current estimates, the find could hold 450-650 MMbbl of oil. The well was drilled to 4,450 m and is in 1,636 m of water. The #1-NFW Agogo is the third commercial discovery on the block. Block 15/06 partners are operator Eni, (36.84%), Sonangol (36.84%) and SSI Fifteen (26.32%).
