Wednesday, May 15 2024

Fossil Energy – Oil Discovery

ExxonMobil and its partners have made an oil discovery at Block 15 offshore Angola, while drilling the exploration well located in the Kizomba B development area.

The discovery was made while drilling the Likembe-01 well in Block 15, operated by ExxonMobil, in partnership with Azule Energy, Equinor and Sonangol.

Drilled between the months of February and April 2024, the well is located at a water depth of 1,200 meters, having crossed reservoirs of Miocene age and reaching a final depth of 3,013 meters, within the perimeter of the Kizomba B development area.

The Likembe-01 exploration well is the first well drilled within the scope of the preliminary agreements of the incremental production project, which aims to provide incentives to investors to produce additional volumes in concessions currently in production, such as fundamental strategy for the sustainable development of the Angolan oil sector, according to the country’s National Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANPG).
