Bharat Petroleum Corporation’s (BPCL) wholly owned subsidiary - Bharat PetroResources’ (BPRL’s) -Barquetine 2 appraisal well (Rovuma Basin, Area 1, Mozambique offshore) has successfully completed its flow test as well has flowed at an equipment constrained rate of approximately 90 to 100 MMscfd (2.5 to 2.8 MMscmd), with minimal pressure drawdown. This was advised by Anadarko Mocambique Area 1 Limitada, the operator of exploration block in Rovuma Area 1, offshore Mozambique.

This test provides the operator confidence in designing wells capable of producing 100 to 200 MMscfd (2.8 to 5.7 MMscfd). The Barquetine 2 appraisal well is located in water depths of approximately 1650 m in the Offshore Area 1 of the Rovuma Basin.

The operator also informed that the flow test confirmed the reservoir connectivity and continuity over a distance of more than 3 kilometers by using pre-set gauges in an offset well. The test also proves the reservoir has a very high permeability meeting the quality specification for the partnership’s LNG development shares and is an important component in the reserve certification process as the partnership focuses on achieving FID around end 2013.

The drill system was conducted by the Deepwater Millennium Drillship, which is expected to be mobilized to the Barquetine -I well for second flow and interference test in the complex comprising the Windjammer, lagosta, Barquetine and Camarao discovery wells. The 2012 testing program also includes drillstem tests in Lagosta and Camaroa areas to the South of Barquetine.

The consortium members in the block are Anadarko Mocambique Area 1 Limitada (36.5% PI), BPRL Ventures Mozambique BV (10% PI), a wholly owned overseas subsidiary of BPRL, Videocon Mozambique Rovuma 1 (10% PI), Cove Energy Mozambique Rovuma Offshore (8.5% PI) and Mitsui E&P Mozambique Area 1, (20% PI). The balance 15% PI is with Empressa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos E.P (ENH) the national oil company of Mozambique, who are carried through the exploration phase.
