Kosmos confirms extension of Enyenra field offshore Ghana

Kosmos Energy announced that the Enyenra-3A appraisal well has confirmed an updip extension of the Enyenra light oil field on the Deepwater Tano Block offshore Ghana. Full analysis of well results, including wireline logs, reservoir pressures and fluid samples indicate that the Enyenra-3A well encountered 17 m (56 feet) of 35 degrees API gravity oil.

Pressure data from the high-quality reservoirs intersected suggests a continuous oil column of over 365 m (1197 ft), as well as static pressure communication between the Enyenra-3A well with both the Owo-1 discovery well and the Enyenra-2A appraisal well. The Enyenra-3A well location is approximately 6.5 km (4.0 miles) north of Owo-1 and 14 km (8.7 miles) north of Enyenra-2A.

Paul Dailly, Senior Vice President of Exploration, commented, “Results of the Enyenra updip appraisal well are encouraging and provide additional confirmation of the field as a major oil discovery. This result furthers our project planning and demonstrates that we are close to declaring the Enyenra and Tweneboa development commercial.”

The “Deepwater Millenium” drillship drilled the Enyenra-3A well to a total depth of 4031 m (13,226 feet) in 1102 m (3615 feet) of water. Additional near-term appraisal plans at Enyenra currently include the redrill and flow test of the Owo-1 discovery well, as well as the drilling of the Enyenra-4A downdip extension test approximately 6.8 km (4.2 miles) south of Enyenra-2A. An Enyenra-5A appraisal well is then likely to be drilled north of Enyenra-3A to test the updip extent of the field.
