Petrobras reports that it has discovered a new accumulation of oil in the pre-salt in the southern portion of the Campos Basin, in a wildcat well in the Alto de Cabo Frio Central block. The 1-BRSA-1383A-RJS (Alto de Cabo Frio Central Northwest) well is located 230 km from the city of Rio de Janeiro-RJ, in a water depth of 1,833 meters.
The oil interval was verified through logs and oil samples, which will later be characterized by laboratory analysis. The consortium will continue drilling the well to the final depth originally planned, in order to evaluate the dimensions of the new accumulation and characterize the quality of the fluids and reservoirs found.
The result is the result of a successful strategy of the consortium based on the maximum use of data, and on the application of new technological solutions in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, leveraged on the use of supercomputers and HPC (High Performance Computing) resources, which They allow the treatment of the data acquired in real time and allow decision-making in an agile and safe way.
The Alto de Cabo Frio Central block was acquired in October 2017, in the 3rd bidding round of the National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP), under the Production Sharing regime, with Pré-Sal Petróleo SA (PPSA ) as administrator.
Petrobras is the operator of the block and owns a 50% interest, in partnership with BP Energy do Brasil Ltda. (50%).
