Project Profile
Location: Offshore Accra Contract Area, Ghana
Reserves: 500 million - 1.2 billion barrels of oil at the P50 to P10 range
Water Depth: 1,500 metres
The Offshore Accra Contract Area covers an area of 2,000 km2 and is located to the southeast of Accra, the capital of the Republic of Ghana, in water depths ranging from less than 50 metres to greater than 2,500 metres.
The Starfish prospect is located in the Offshore Accra Contract Area along the prolific offshore West African Margin. The Starfish prospect was matured following reprocessing of the original 3D seismic data and the acquisition of the new 3D survey in 2011 over the outboard deep water area.
Starfish is considered a well-defined, large ‘Jubilee style’ Upper Cretaceous fan play at comparable burial depths to the producing Jubilee reservoir. It has recoverable oil potential of 500 million to 1.2 billion barrels at the P50 to P10 range.
