CHEVRON'S SUBSIDIARY Cabinda Gulf Oil Co. and its partners have made a significant oil discovery in Block 14 offshore Angola. The discovery well, Malange-1, was drilled in December 2006 in 873 ft (266 m) of water to a total vertical depth of 15,562 ft (4,743 m). The well encountered 212 net ft (64.6 net m) of oil in the Cretaceous-age Pinda reservoir. The well was tested in March 2007 and flowed high-quality crude at a rate of 7,669 bbls of oil/day. Malange-1 is the first Pinda discovery in Block 14 and the 11th exploration discovery made in Block 14 since 1997.
