You don’t find a 300ft oil column in isolation. It has to be part of a bigger trapping system,” says John Wardle, chief executive.
Geological analysis of Indico-1 has classified at least 18mln barrels in the 1P category, he adds, the most certain category there is.
If the oil/water contact point turns out to be, say 40ft lower than 283ft, those reserves will go up to 33mln barrels, but deeper than that can rise to 70mln or even 100mln barrels.
The drill rig has now moved onto a third well, Calao-1, which will test the geology to the south-west of Indico, to be followed by Pavo Real-1 to the North East.
In all, six wells are planned on CPO-5 this, year including two appraisals.
