Project Profile
Location: Sergipe Basin ultra-deep waters, Brazil
Depth: up to 5,350 m
Start-up Year: -
BM-SEAL-4 concession is located in Sergipe Basin in ultra-deep waters in Brazil. Petrobras will perform a test (TFR) to evaluate the results and to confirm reservoir conditions and production potential. Petrobras discovered a new oil accumulation in June 2015 in well 3-SES-189. The well, informally known as Poço Verde 4, is located at 23.5 km from the discovering well, at 2.479 m of water depth, and it is located at 5.350 m deep. The company will proceed with drilling operation up to 5.350 m, as scheduled. The reservoirs, light oil carriers with the highest market value, have total thickness of 85 m and they are at good conditions of porosity and permeability. Such well is the third drilled at Poço Verde area, whose discovery occurred on July 2012. This area is part of the exploratory project in Sergipe-Alagoas Basin, which has another five evaluation plans. Furthermore, the Discovery Evaluation Plan (DEP) will carry on, as approved by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP).
