Petrobras discovers good quality oil in south Santos Basin
Petrobras has confirmed the presence of good quality oil in well 4-SPS-91 (4-BRSA-1002-SPS), in south Santos Basin, in an area known as Tiro and Sidon.
The new well, informally known as Patola, is located at a water depth of 299 m, some 200 km off the coast of São Paulo State and 3.8 km from discovery well 1-SPS-57 (1-BRSA-658-SPS), in the Evaluation Plan area containing wells 1-SPS-56 and 1-SPS-57 (1-BRSA-607 / 1-BRSA-658), former block BM-S-40. Preliminary analyses indicate that this oil is of the same quality as the oil found in wild cat wells, around 36o API.
The discovery confirms the potential for good quality oil in the shallow waters of south Santos Basin. The discovery was confirmed by cable test oil samples taken from the post-salt sandstone. The reservoir is approximately 2160 m deep.
