Petrobras has announced the results of drilling well 9-SES-188D (Petrobras nomenclature) / 9-BRSA-1280D-SES (ANP nomenclature), located at concession area BM-SEAL-11, in block SEAL-M-426, in Sergipe Basin ultra-deep waters, off Brazil.

The results confirm the light oil and gas discovery in Farfan area (between 37º and 40º API), as announced in August, 2013 . According to Petrobras, the results presented excellent permoporosity conditions in the turbidities reservoirs with 54 meters thickness.

Furthermore, this drilling also presented a new light oil accumulation in a deepest reservoir, with 28 meters thickness and in good permoporosity conditions.

Located at 107 km off Aracaju, at 5.7 km off the discovering well and at a water depth of 2,492 meters, the well reached a final depth of 5,900 meters and Petrobras says it is under evaluation now.

This accumulation is part of the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin deep-water exploration project, according to Petrobras’ Business and Management Plan for the 2014-2018 period.

Petrobras will continue with the Discovery Evaluation Plan, as approved by Brazil’s Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels Agency (ANP).
