Significant gas discovery offshore Senegal

摘要

Kosmos Energy announced that its Guem-beul-1 exploration well, located in the northern part of the St. Louis Offshore Profond license area in Senegal, has made a significant gas discovery. Located approximately 5 km south of the basin-opening Tortue-1 gas discovery (renamed Ahmeyim) in 2700 m of water, Guembeul-1 was drilled to a total depth of 5245 m. The well encountered 101 m of net gas pay in two excellent quality reservoirs, including 56 m in the Lower Cenomanian and 45 m in the underlying Albian, with no water encountered. Additionally, Guembeul-1 has demonstrated reservoir continuity as well as static pressure communication with the Tortue-1 well in the Lower Cenomanian.
