Four appraisal and delineation wells have been drilled since discovery in 2009, and estimates of gas in place are 17 tcf.
Once the final investment decision for Phase 1 is made, light offshore platforms will installed and linked to an onshore central processing facility. Cost for Phase 1 is estimated at $1.4 billion.
Cardón IV is licensed and operated by the joint operating company Cardón IV S.A owned by Eni (50%) and Repsol (50%). The Venezuelan state company Petróleos de Venezuela S.A. (PDVSA) owns a 35% back-in right to be exercised in the development phase, and at that time Eni and Repsol will each hold a 32.5% interest in the project, which will then be jointly operated by the three companies.
