Eni sees more potential in Ghana strike

Eni said a natural gas and condensate discovery offshore Ghana has gas and oil potential requiring further drilling.

Its Akoma-1X well proved a single gas and condensate column in a 20 metre-thick Cenomanian sandstone reservoir with good petrophysical properties.

The Maersk Voyager drillship drilled the well, the first on CTP-Block 4, to 3,790 metres TD in 350 metres of water about 50 kilometres off the coast.

The discovery is 12 kilometres north-west of the Sankofa hub, where the John Agyekum Kufuor floating production, storage, and offloading vessel is a tie-back possibility.

Sankofa field is part of Eni’s Offshore Cape Three Points integrated oil and gas project.

Eni Ghana operates the block with a 42.469% interest. Its partners are Vitol Upstream Tano 33.975%, GNPC 10%, Woodfields Upstream 9.556% and Explorco 4%.
