The well is located 225km off the Rio de Janeiro coast, at a water depth of 2,128m.
The well has been drilled in the central area of the concession’s Discovery Evaluation Plan, which is about 4km to the north of discovery well 1-RJS-656 or Iara.
A 310m hydrocarbon column has been identified in the well at a depth of 6,672m, after drilling about 900m of carbonate rock below the salt layer, while the features are similar to the Iara well.
With the help of geometry, the company intends to carry out formation test to evaluate the productivity of the reservoirs in the well.
Petrobras is the operator of the consortium, with 65% interest, while BG E&P Brasil has 25% stake and Petrogal Brasil holds 10% interest.
