ENI successfully executed the appraisal campaign for the Agulha discovery, located in Area 4 offshore Mozambique completing the Agulha 2 well.
The delineation was carried out through the well, which was drilled in water depth of 2,603 meters and reached a total depth of 5,645 meters. The Agulha 2 well, which is the 12th well successfully drilled in Area 4, proved about 25 meters of gas column in good quality Paleocene reservoir sandstones and confirmed the southern extension of the field. As a result, the Italian firm is considering further exploration in the southern part of Area 4. Total resources discovered in Area 4 are estimated at approximately 85 Tcf of gas in place.
ENI is the operator of Area 4 with a 50% indirect interest owned through ENI East Africa, which holds 70% of Area 4. The other partners are GalpEnergia (10%), KOGAS (10%) and ENH (10%, carried through the exploration phase). CNPC owns a 20% indirect participation in Area 4 through ENI East Africa.
