Project Profile
Location: Gnondo Block, offshore Gabon
Reserves: 317 MMboe
The Affanga Deep post-salt oil prospect is located off Gabon in the Gnondo Block. It consists of several stacked Cretaceous targets estimated to contain 317 MMboe. An exploratory well will be drilled as part of the operator\'s 2014 drilling program. Ophir Energy secured the services of a drillship to carry out a multi-well drilling program off West Africa that will kick-off in February 2014. The rig slots for six firm wells plus options have been agreed upon.
Affanga Deep-1 well (4,240m TVDSS) encountered thinner than expected sandstone sections with poor reservoir characteristics.
