LONDON – The drillship Ocean Rig Poseidon will P&A its current well on the Prospect S offshore Namibia.
Chariot Oil & Gas operated the well on the Central Blocks license, in partnership with Azinam, NAMCOR, and Ignitus.
The well, which was drilled to a total MD of 4,165 m (13,665 ft), penetrated the anticipated turbidite reservoir sands and, according to Azinam, encountered wet gas shows, indicating the presence of hydrocarbons in the system, but not in commercial quantities.
Compiled data will be used to calibrate existing data and analyze the implications of the result on the prospectivity of the surrounding area.
Azinam managing director Daniel McKeown said: “There are invaluable learnings that can be extracted from the significant amount of data that has been gathered from the well. These will undoubtedly inform our future exploration plans in the surrounding area.
“We remain focused on our multi-well drilling program with prospects across the Walvis, Luderitz and Orange basins in the Southern African Atlantic Margin offshore Namibia and South Africa.”
