2009 | New oil find in Angola's block 31
StatoilHydro is a partner with 13.33 percent interest in a new oil discovery in block 31 off Angola operated by BP. This is the seventeenth discovery made in block 31.
The discovery is located in the central northern portion of block 31, some 415 kilometres north-west of Luanda, and about 12 kilometres to the south-west of the Marte field.
The Leda discovery was drilled in a water depth of 2070 metres and reached a total well depth of 5907 metres below sea level. The exploration well was drilled through salt to access the oil bearing sandstone reservoir below. The well was tested at a rate of 5040 barrels of oil a day through a 36/64thns inch choke.
Sonangol is the concessionaire of block 31, and BP is the operator with a 26.67 percent interest. Other licensees are Esso (25%), Sonangol (20%), StatoilHydro (13.33%), Marathon (10%) and TEPA (5 %).
StatoilHydro has been a partner in Angola’s offshore oil and gas sector since 1991. We have interests in blocks 4, 15, 15/06, 17, 31 and 34.
