Petrobras reports new Amazon basin discovery
RIO DE JANEIRO -- Petrobras has discovered 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, informally known as Jusante do Anebá. The well reached a total depth of 2,040 m.
Preliminary well tests have confirmed the presence of light oil (API 47°) and gas in arenaceous reservoirs, extending from 1,350 m to 1,900 m 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, Petrobras said.
