The well, named Maceio, is located in the BM-S-59 block at a water depth of approximately 185m.

The company performed the drill-stem test in a vertical well in the Maceio accumulation, and besides the presence of gas, the test confirmed the existence of condensate of approximately 50 degrees API that will account for around 20% of the hydrocarbon volume of this structure.

OGX said that the results of this test, with three production intervals, show a production potential of one million cubic meters per day in a vertical well, which could reach 2.5 million cubic meters per day in a horizontal well, both at absolute open flow.
