BW Energy, a Norwegian oil firm has made a significant oil discovery in the Bourdon prospect, located offshore Gabon in the Dussafu Licence.
According to the company, the discovery features approximately 34 metres of pay in a 45-metre hydrocarbon column in the Gamba formation, making it the largest hydrocarbon column discovered to date in the licence.
The well was drilled by the Norve jack-up rig to a total depth of 4,135 metres. BW Energy plans to book additional reserves not included in its 2024 Statement of Reserves.
“The Bourdon appraisal well again confirms the significant resource potential of the Dussafu licence, which holds multiple additional prospects,” said Carl K. Arnet, CEO of BW Energy.
“We will now carefully review the drilling results, but initial data indicates the potential for establishing a new development cluster with a production facility following the MaBoMo blueprint. We are evaluating a second sidetrack to further appraise the discovery.”
The Bourdon discovery is strategically located approximately 15 kilometres west of the BW Adolo FPSO and 7.5 kilometres southeast of the MaBoMo facility.
