Within the Tilapia Field, developments in seismic techniques have recently been able to interpret the presence of hydrocarbons in the Djeno Sands, which lie below the pre-salt layer. In neighbouring fields ENI, SOCO International and Oryx are already producing or in the final stages of testing prior to production from the Djeno Sands.
The seismic material indicates that the Djeno Sands have high volumes of reserves, and the presence of hydrocarbons in the AAOG block is confirmed with conventional flow rates. This was not brought into production within Tilapia when originally tested because the necessary techniques to kick-start production did not then exist.
