Project Profile

---

Block 21 is located in the deepwater offshore south-central Kwanza Basin, some 200 Km southwest of Luanda. The water depth in the block is 300 to 1,600 metres. The block comprises basin shelf-slope over its eastern portion and salt mini-basin development in the central and western portions. 
The Cameia #1 discovery on Block 21 confirmed the presence of an expansive pre-salt hydrocarbon reservoir, proving our geologic model and de-risking the new pre-salt play in the deepwater offshore Angola. The Cameia #2 and #3 appraisal wells provided the validating evidence that allowed to accelerate work toward the sanctioning of an early production system. The Cameia #3, #4 and #5 development well were later drilled successfully, followed by completion of drilling operations on the Cameia #1A well, each of which is planned to be used as part of the Cameia Development. The Mavinga #1 pre-salt discovery on Block 21 mirrored the Cameia pre-salt discovery from the perspective of fluid and reservoir quality.
