Respol hits at Gávea well

Repsol Sinopec Brazil has discovered hydrocarbon pay at the Gávea A1 well in the ultra deepwater pre-salt Campos basin, offshore Brazil.

Gávea A1, located in Block BM-C-33 encountered a hydrocarbon column of 175m in a good quality reservoir of silicified carbonates in the Macabu formation. The well reached 6230m depth, and was successfully tested producing some 16 MMcf/d of natural gas, and 4000 b/d of oil (32/64in choke).

The well marks the fourth well in the license, which comprises the Seat, Gávea and Pão de Açucar (PdA) discoveries. In 2013-2015 the consortium drilled and tested the Seat-2, PdA-A1 and PdA-A2 appraisal wells; all three discoveries’ resource potential are under evaluation.

Repsol and partners are evaluating the BM-C-33 block, and are entering a stage during which the consortium will analyze the results to define the scenarios of commercial block development, the company confirmed.

Repsol Sinopec Brazil is currently the operator of BM-C-33 with 35% stake. Partners include Statoil (35%) and Petrobras (30%). However, Statoil is in the process of becoming the new operator of the concession, subject to the approval of Brazil’s Agência Nacional de Petróleo, Gás Natural e Combustível (ANP).
