Aker Energy is hoping to include volumes of up to 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent in an upcoming plan of development for the Greater Pecan area on its Deepwater Tano-Cape Three Points (DT-CTP) block off Ghana after an encouraging result at its latest appraisal.
The operator said the Pecan-4A well, which was spudded late last year using the drillship Maersk Viking, has proven a deep oil-water contact in the Pecan reservoir.
