The
1-976-RJS
well
was
in
water
depths
of
2131
meters,
255
kilometres
from
Rio
de
Janeiro.
The
well
turned
up
medium
grade
crude
of
26
degree
API
at
a
depth
of
4960
metres
below
the
sea
bed.
The
well
showed
a
290
column
of
oil
in
carbonate
rock
under
a
think
layer
of
salt.
Petrobras
said
it
will
continue
drilling
the
well
to
find
the
depth
of
the
hydrocarbon
deposit.
Well
formation
tests
will
come
after
the
drilling
is
completed
and
then
a
long-term
production
test
is
expected
to
follow.
The
well
is
the
second…
