Itauna is located in Block BM-C-29 offshore Brazil in 250 feet (76 metres) of water. Anadarko operates the block with a 50% working interest; Ecopetrol holds the remaining 50% interest.
Anadarko drilled the Itauna No. 1 well, encountering 275 net feet (84 metres) of oil and natural gas pay in two separate post-salt zones. Drilled by the Offshore Mischief, the well reached a depth of nearly 18,000 feet (5,486 metres).
