The logging results indicated that the well proved to be completely consistent with pre-drill prognosis.
Drilled as a horizontal production well in the Dentale D6 reservoir, the company found a long section of oil saturated on sandstone.
Further work on the well has been suspended until the arrival of FPSO and the subsequent hook up in the second half of the year.
On drilling through the shallower Gamba and upper Dentale reservoir sections, the firm found a gross 37m hydrocarbon column with 28m of net pay.
