Videocon Inds’ arm announces extension of exploration success in Offshore Mozambique

15 May 2012 Evaluate

Videocon Industries’ wholly owned subsidiary, Videocon Hydrocarbon Holdings has informed that Anadarko Mocambique Area 1 Limitada, the Operator of exploration block in Rovuma Basin, Area 1, offshore Mozambique, has reported that Golfinho exploration well discovered a new, major natural gas accumulation nearly 20 miles (32 kilometres) northwest of its Prosperidade complex within the Offshore Area 1 of Rovuma Basin. The Golfinho discovery well encountered more than 59 metres of natural gas pay in two high quality Oligocene fan systems that are age-equivalent to, but geologically distinct from, the previous discoveries  in the Prosperidade complex.

The success of Golfinho well significantly expands the tremendous resource potential for the offshore Area 1 in the deep-water Rovuma Basin, with additional opportunities yet to test.

This well discovered a new, major natural gas accumulation which is entirely contained within the Offshore Area 1 block of Rovuma basin and nearly 32 kilometeres northwest of its Prosperidade complex. This adds an estimated 7 to 20 plus Tcf (trillion cubic feet) recoverable resources, in addition to the earlier announced 17 to 30 plus Tcf in Prosperidade complex within the block. The Golfinho exploration well was drilled to a total depth of approximately 4537 metres in water depths of approximately 1027 metres

The operator has further reported that an active exploration program in the highly prospective northern and southern portions of the Offshore Area 1 would be continued along with delineation of this new discovery. Once operations are complete at Goldfinch, the partnership plans to mobilize the Belford Dolphin drillship to drill the Atum-1 exploration well.


The consortium members in the block are Anadarko Mocambique Area 1 Limitada (36.5% PI), BPRL Ventures Mozambique R.V (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 £.P (ENH) the national oil company of Mozambique, who are carried through the exploration phase.
