Repsol
said
it
had
found
a
hydrocarbons
column
that
was
“one
of
the
thickest
discovered
in
Brazil
to
date”.
The
well
was
drilled
on
Block
BM-C-33,
and
was
probing
the
Pao
de
Acucar
(Sugarloaf)
prospect.
BM-C-33
partner
Statoil
called
the
find
a
“high-impact”
discovery
which,
by
definition,
points
to
gross
reserves
of
at
least
250
million
barrels
of
oil
equivalent.
Statoil
cited
two
pre-salt
accumulations
comprising
a
hydrocarbon
column
of
480
metres
with
total
pay
of
around
350
metres.
Repsol
spoke
of
high-quality
oil
resources
with
excellent
flow
rates.
