Dana Mauritania oil find

摘要

Dana Petroleum appears to have discovered oil with a deepwater exploration well off Mauritania.The Aigrette-1 exploration well in Block 7 was drilled to a depth of 15,759ft (4,803m). Preliminary drilling data and an intermediate wireline logging programme indicated the presence of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstones within the Cretaceous target zone. A hydrocarbon column of around 66ft (20m) gross has been confirmed.
