Brazilian state-run energy giant, Petroleo Brasileiro SA, or Petrobras (PBR) has confirmed the presence of gas and light oil in the extension well, 3-BRSA-1194-SES, commonly known as Moita Bonita -1.
The ultra-deepwater well is located in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, in the Moita Bonita area, in the state of Sergipe. It is located 7 km from 1-BRSA-1088-SES or the Moita Bonita discovery well at a water depth of 2,800 meters on the concession BM-SEAL-10.
Petrobras has a 100% holding in BM-SEAL-10 and also acts as its operator. The company also has interest in the BM-SEAL-4 along with partner ONGC. Both these concessions have received approval for the discovery evaluation plan by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (:ANP).
A day earlier, Petrobras announced an oil discovery on the concession BM-POT-17, in Rio Grande do Norte. It is the first of its kind in the deep waters of the Potiguar Basin. The well – also known as Pitu – is in water depth of 1,731 meters.
