Sankofa East Appraisal a Success for ENI
In Ghana ENI saw success with the drilling of its Sankofa East 2A on the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP). The well was the first appraisal well of the Sankofa East oil discovery on the block. Sankofa East 2A was drilled 8 km southwest of the discovery well Sankofa East X1 and confirmed the extension of the oil accumulation in the Cenomanian sequence.
The well encountered 23 meters of gas and condensate gross pay (17 meters net), and 76 meters of gross oil pay (30° API, 32 meters net) in good sands of cretaceous age.
ENI estimates the overall potential of the discovery to be around 450 million barrels of oil in place with recoverable resources of up to 150 million barrels. The data acquisition confirmed the hydraulic communication in the oil prone reservoir between the discovery and the appraisal well.
The company has commenced plans for the commercial exploitation of the oil reserves. It also revealed that there is ongoing engineering studies for the development and commercialization of the gas reserves within the block in accordance with the principles sanctioned under the MoU recently signed by ENI, Vitol and GNPC with the Ministry of Energy of Ghana.
The MoU focuses particularly on the domestic gas market, in which ENI and its JV partners aim to play a prominent role.
