Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: 53 miles (85 kilometres) off the coast of Rio de Janeiro
Water Depth: 427 feet (130 metres)
The Tupungato field is located in the BM-C-41 block in a water depth of 427 feet (130 metres), approximately 53 miles (85 kilometres) off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. OGX wholly owns and operates the block. OGX found hydrocarbons in two sections of well 1-OGX-20-RJS in the shallow waters of the Campos Basin. First, hydrocarbons were identified in two different levels in sandstone reservoirs in the Maastrichtian section of the OGX-20 well with a net pay of nearly 30 and 13 feet (9 and 4 metres), respectively. Then drilling continued to the Albian section, where an oil column of about 262 feet (80 metres) with nearly 164 feet (50 metres) of net pay was encountered in carbonate reservoirs.
