Norwegian Operator Claims “Substantial Oil Discovery” In Gabon, Extending the Hibiscus Field Further NorthBy Macson ObojemuinmoinOslo listed BW Energy has announced “a substantial oil discovery with good reservoir quality” in the DHIBM-7P pilot well drilled to appraise the northern flank of the Hibiscus field, in the Dussafu licence, offshore Gabon. It says that its preliminary evaluation indicates a notable increase in both the volume of oil in place and gross recoverable reserves. The DHIBM-7P pilot was drilled from the MaBoMo production platform to a total depth of 3,941 metres. This is the first example of a common Gamba-Dentale hydrocarbon accumulation in Hibiscus Field. The next operation will be to place a production well (DHBSM-2H) in the northern flank of the Hibiscus South field that was recently successfully appraised.
