Noble Energy has made an oil discovery on Block O at the Carmen prospect offshore Equatorial Guinea. The Carmen well hit around 26ft (8m) of net oil pay, along with 13ft (4m) of net gas pay. The well lies at a water depth of around 150ft (46m) and was drilled by the Trident VIII jackup to a total depth of 11,550ft (3,520m) to test a lower Miocene reservoir. The well has been temporarily abandoned pending future development considerations. There are no plans to flow test the reservoir at the current time.
