BPCL Discovers Additional Gas in Wildcat Well in Mozambique
19 Mar 2010  intralink  

Lightening, it is said, does not strike the same place twice. But, a second hydrocarbon find in the same wildcat well is definitely possible. And this was proved true when our Mozambique well, Windjammer, encountered a second pay zone of gas below the first find.  The well, (reaching a total depth of approximately 5161 meters), encountered an additional 23 net meters of natural gas pay in the deepwater offshore Mozambique. The additional pay intersected in the deeper objective brings the total net meters of natural gas pay in Windjammer to more than 169 meters.

 

Windjammer is located about 48 Kilometers east of the Mozambique coastline in approximately 1465 meters of water depth. M/s Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, U.S.A, the Operator of the block, next plans to move the drillship, Belford Dolphin approximately 80 Kilometers south-southeast to drill its Collier prospect. BPRL Ventures Mozambique B.V, an overseas subsidiary of BPRL, holds 10% participating interest (PI) in this block.
