The announcement initially suggests a potential of between 300 million and 400 million barrels of oil equivalent of oil and associated associated.
The well, drilled to a water depth of 525 meters and reaching a total depth of 2,931 meters, has encountered approximately 200 meters of net hydrocarbon-bearing sand layers. hydrocarbon-bearing sands in Pliocene and Miocene sequences. This result is the product of an extensive subsurface data acquisition campaign.

Eni operates Block 9 in a joint venture with Repsol each with a 50% interest. This discovery adds to other recent successes in Blocks 7 and 10, consolidating Eni’s position in the region.
With this discovery, the total resources discovered by Eni in the Southeast Basin now exceed 1.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent. exceed 1.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent, paving the way for further studies and potential future development of the Hub, integrating discoveries and other prospects in the area along with nearby infrastructure.
