Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT) and Apache Corporation
have made a second significant discovery with the Sapakara West-1
well on Block 58 offshore Suriname. It follows the previous
discovery at Maka Central-1.
The well was drilled by a water depth of about 1,000 meters and
encountered 79 meters net pay of high-quality light oil and gas
condensate, in multiple stacked and good quality reservoirs in
Upper Cretaceous Campanian and Santonian formations. Further
testing will be carried out to appraise the resources and
productivity of the reservoir.
"We are very pleased to announce this second discovery,
following from the discovery of oil at Maka Central-1. The results
are once again very encouraging and confirm our exploration
strategy in this region," said Kevin McLachlan, Senior Vice
President Exploration at Total.
The Sapakara West-1 exploration well was drilled by Apache as
operator with 50% working interest and with Total as the JV partner
with 50% working interest. The next exploration well will be
drilled on the Kwaskwasi prospect, with a fourth exploration well
to be planned back-to-back on the Keskesi prospect. Total will
become operator of the Block after the drilling of the 4(th)
well.
