The company brought in the Diamond Offshore drillship Ocean Clipper from Brazil in June to drill the well on the Tayrona block, targeting Lower Miocene and Oligocene reservoirs more than 4500 metres below the seabed in the Guajira basin.
Repsol described Orca as having a very large four-way closure, of almost 500 square metres, in the lower Miocene. The wildcat is being drilled on a gas condensate structure that has multi-trillion cubic feet of gas potential in a water depth of more than 600 metres.
