This is in addition to the Aje field which is offshore Badagry too and the 30b tonnes of bitumen that extends from Edo to Ogun. Bottom line is that every part of Nigeria brings something to this union and we are much better big and strong than when we turn the nation to a half dozen micro states each of each is irrelevant on the global stage.

New oil site found in Nigeria offshore

on June 26, 2013 / in Energy 6:34 pm / Comments

Optimum Petroleum Development Limited and its partner Afren Nigeria have announced that the high impact Ogo-1 well located on the OPL 310 licence offshore Nigeria has discovered a significant light oil accumulation, based on the results of drilling and wireline logs.

Lagos – Optimum Petroleum Development Limited and its partner Afren Nigeria have announced that the high impact Ogo-1 well located on the OPL 310 licence offshore Nigeria has discovered a significant light oil accumulation, based on the results of drilling and wireline logs.

The Ogo-1 well was drilled by Optimum Petroleum Development Ltd and its partners Afren and Lekoil Limited to a total measured depth of 10,518 ft (10,402 ft true vertical depth subsea), and has encountered a significant gross hydrocarbon column. Further evaluation using wireline log analysis is currently underway prior to extending the well to a total measured depth of 11,800 ft (11,684 ft true vertical depth subsea) to target further high potential zones. .

Egbert Imomoh, Chairman of Afren, said “The discovery of oil in the Ogo-1 well opens up a new oil basin in an under-explored region and represents a possible extension of the West African Transform Margin. Based on evidence to date, targeted resources are likely to be significantly in excess of previous estimates, with some high-potential zones still to be drilled. We look forward to working with our Partners to realise the full potential of Ogo and our additional prospects on the license.

The Ogo-1 exploration success follows a series of recent discoveries, Okoro Field Extension, Ebok North Fault Block and Okwok in Nigeria and Simrit-2 and Simrit-3 on the Ain Sifni Block in the Kurdistan region of Iraq.”

Nigeria: Lekoil announces significant oil discovery offshore Nigeria

26 Jun 2013

Lekoil has announced that the high impact Ogo-1 well located on the OPL 310 licence offshore Nigeria has discovered a significant light oil accumulation, based on the results of drilling and wireline logs.

The Ogo-1 well is being drilled by Afren, as technical partner, under a farmout to Lekoil of OPL310, offshore Nigeria, as announced on 14 May 2013. The well has been drilled to a total measured depth of 10,518ft (10,402ft true vertical depth subsea (TVDSS)), and has encountered a gross hydrocarbon section of 524ft, with 216ft of apparent stacked, net pay.

Further wireline log evaluation is currently underway prior to extending the well to target deeper prospectivity above basement, to a total measured depth of 11,800ft (11,684ft TVDSS). The expected timetable for completion of this further drilling together with additional testing is four to six weeks (inclusive of drilling a planned Ogo-1 side-track well).

The Ogo-1 discovery, testing a four-way dip-closed structure in the Turonian, Cenomanian, and Albian sandstone reservoirs, confirms the extension of the same Cretaceous play that has yielded other significant discoveries along the West African Transform Margin. The results also indicate a working hydrocarbon system that is weighted more towards liquids than gas. This has been confirmed by MDT samples; light oil samples in the Turonian and Cenomanian sands and condensate samples in the Albian sands.

Following the completion of drilling and testing operations at Ogo-1, the Partners in OPL310 plan to drill a side-track well, Ogo-1 ST, which will test a stratigraphic pinch-out trap on the flanks of the basement high - a new potential play in the area.

Following completion of the farm out to Lekoil, as announced on 14 May 2013, the Partners' participating and economic interests on the block will be as follows:


Lekan Akinyanmi, CEO, said: 'The discovery of oil in the Ogo-1 well opens up a new oil basin in an under-explored region and represents a possible extension of the Cretaceous play along the West African Transform Margin. The discovery is a clear validation of Lekoil's technical analysis and of our extensive studies on the Dahomey Basin.

'Results to date indicate that the discovered resources could be significantly in excess of P50 estimates prior to drilling. While Lekoil notes these results are preliminary, we believe there exists substantial scope for upward revisions to the data announced today as drilling and interpretation continues. We look forward to working with our Partners to realise the full potential of Ogo and the additional prospects on the license.'
