Petrobras Makes Amazon Basin Discovery
Petrobras announced the discovery of a new oil and gas accumulation in the Amazon Basin, Block AM-T-84.
The discovery was made while drilling well 1-BRSA-1293-AM (ANP nomenclature), informally known as Jusante do Anebá. Well drilling reached the total depth of 2,040 meters.
Preliminary well tests have confirmed the presence of light oil (API 47°) and gas in arenaceous reservoirs, extending from 1,350 meters to 1,900 meters deep.
Petrobras is the operator of the concession (60%), in partnership with Petrogal Brasil (40%).
The consortium will proceed with activities to evaluate the oil and gas bearing reservoirs through a cased-hole drill-stem test.
