ENI made a new discovery of gas and condensates offshore the Republic of Congo while drilling the Nkala Marine prospect on Marine XII block. The well, the Nkala Marine 1, is expected to have a potential of 250-350 million boe in place.
During the production test, the well provided over 300 Mcm of gas and associated condensates. The well, drilled in a water depth of 38 meters, encountered a major gas and condensates buildup in the pre-salt clastic geological sequence of lower Cretaceous age, crossing a hydrocarbon column of 240 meters. The company said it will launch an appraisal of the Nkala Marine prospect with the drilling of delineation wells.
ENI and its JV partners will launch studies for its commercial development which is framed in a context of optimized exploitation of the oil and gas discoveries in the Marine XII permit.
