Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Talos Energy LLC is drilling appraisal well #2-Zama ST1 in Block 7 the Sureste Basin, off-shore Mexico. The venture is the second of three planned wells to test the northern limits of the discovery. The well is 180 m updip of #2-Zama and approximately 2.1 km north of #1-Zama. The #2-Zama ST1 logged 266 m of gross true vertical depth pay and confirms a consistent net-to-gross ratio range of 68%-73% through multiple penetrations. Talos also recovered 217 m of core, with a 98% recovery rate, the longest whole core acquired in a single well in the history of offshore Mexico. Flow was established without stimulation in two separate flow tests and produced a combined rate of 7.9 Mboe per day, of which 94% was oil and 6% was gas. Water depth of approximately 168 m. Houston-based Talos is the operator of Block 7 and Zama Field with 35% interest in partnership with Sierra Oil & Gas, 40% interest, and Premier Oil with the remaining 25%.
