HOUSTON — Drilling and testing operations have finished on the second appraisal well on the Sapaka South discovery in Block 58 offshore Suriname, operated by TotalEnergies.
According to partner APA Corp., the Sapakara South-2 (SPS-2), which is 4.6 km (3 miles) south of the Sapakara South-1 (SPS-1) appraisal well, delivered about 36 m (118 ft) of net oil pay from a good-quality Campano-Maastrichtian reservoir.
Data from the flow test and subsequent pressure buildup suggest an incremental connected resource with more than 200 MMbbl in place.
APA CEO and President John J. Christann said the results were in line with pre-drill expectations, confirming the geological, geophysical and reservoir models.
The partners have switched their focus to two appraisal wells on the Krabdagu discovery, 17 km (11 miles) east of Sapakara. Krabdagu-2 is drilling, while a second rig should spud Krabdagu-3 later this month.
