Following significant discoveries from Mopane-1X well, Galp, along with partners NAMCOR and Custos, has also finished drilling the Mopane-2X well to its designed depth, in block PEL83
Post drilling, the team has found a significant column with light oil in reservoirs of high quality.
The AVO-3 exploration target, the AVO-1 appraisal target and a deeper target were fully cored and logged.
The AVO-1 appraisal target found the same pressure regime as in the Mopane-1X discovery well located around 8 km to the east, confirming its lateral extension.
The rig will now return to the Mopane-1X well location to conduct a drill stem test (DST) until early April.
Over the next few weeks, Galp will be analysing the data acquired from drilling to examine if at all the discoveries have any commercial values to offer.
