Consequences of the drilling of HRT/GALP ENERGIA in Namibia
-
The drilling of the WINGAT-1 well, drilled by HRT and GALP ENERGIA on the PEL
23, encountered carbonate reservoirs, which constituted its main aim, with much
less developed quality than expected. The well highlighted the presence of light
oil in sandy reservoirs as well as two types of source rock located in the oil-
generating window, which is a very encouraging indicator for this zone.
The next drilling of Murombe-1, which HRT will start on this block, aims at
sandy turbidites for which the entrapment of hydrocarbons presents a lower risk
than in the case of carbonates encountered during the drilling of the Wingat-1
well.
This second prospect is next to the block 2212B for which Maurel & Prom are the
operators with 37% interest. The topics of this exploration also extend to the
other blocks held at 37% by Maurel & Prom, namely blocks 2413A, 2313B and
2313A. The result of the Marombe-1 well will thus have great importance in
consolidating the Group's exploration potential in this country.
Maurel & Prom and its partners await the results of the interpretation of the
seismic 2D as well as the results of this drilling in order to outline a 3D
seismic campaign, and then possible exploration drillings.
