One of the accumulations was encountered in pre-salt carbonate reservoirs at a depth of 4,340mt. Preliminary estimates indicate the presence of light oil with recoverable volumes of approximately 40 million barrels and the tests indicated a good productivity in the reservoirs.
Additionally, with well 6-BR-63A-RJS, another oil accumulation was also encountered in sandstone post-salt reservoirs. The volume of recoverable oil has been estimated at 25 million barrels in this accumulation.
The company is analyzing interconnecting well 6-BR-63A-RJS to platform P-43, which is currently in operation at the Barracuda field. The discoveries will be the object of an evaluation plan, to be submitted to the National Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuel Agency.
