Drilling Activity Summary
Description
In Mexico’s Campeche Bay, Eni completed #2-Amoca in Contractual Area 1. According to the Rome-based company, the well confirms the presence of oil in multiple reservoirs. The venture was drilled in 25 m of water and hit 110 m of net oil pay from several Pliocene reservoir sandstones, of which 65 m were discovered in a deeper, previously undrilled horizon. The well confirmed the presence of 18-degree-gravity oil in the shallower formations, while the newly discovered deeper sandstones contain high quality light oil. Reserves are still being assessed. Additional drilling is planned at delineation wells #3-Amoca, #2-Mizton and #2-Tecoalli. Eni holds a 100% stake in the Area 1 production sharing contract.
