Project Profile
Location: Offshore Sierra Leone
Water depth: 7,210 feet (2,199 metres).
The well, located more than 15 miles (25 kilometers) west of the Mercury-1 well which discovered oil in the block, intersected 98 feet (30 meters) of hydrocarbon pay in the primary Upper Cretaceous objective and did not encounter a hydrocarbon water contact. The well has been preserved for possible future re-entry, as the area is likely to require additional evaluation.
Anadarko (55 percent) is operator of offshore Block SL-07B-11 along with partners Repsol (25 percent) and Tullow (20 percent).
