Project Profile
Value: $450 Million
Startup Year: 2016
Water Depth: 1,417 m
The Wahoo field is in block BM-C-30 in the deepwater Campos basin, in approximately 1,420 metres of water and 40km southeast and syncline separated from Petrobras\' pre-salt discoveries at the giant Jubarte, Caxareu and Pirambu fields. The pre-salt discovery well, 1-APL-1-ESS, encountered more than 200 feet of net pay with similar characteristics of the nearby Jubarte field. The net pay consists of high-quality, high-gravity crude oil in an upper zone. While drilling the Wahoo prospect, the Deepwater Millennium encountered an additional oil accumulation in the deeper objective and confirmed the quality of the reservoir. Anadarko and its partners are conducting more logging, including pressure and fluid sampling, and further exploration and appraisal drilling is planned for the future.
