The Dussafu Area Contains Five Pre-Salt Oil Discoveries and Various Additional Prospects and Leads

BW Offshore announced on Monday that the first oil extraction from the BW Adolo FPSO was successfully achieved on September 16, 2018, 18 months after the initial investment was made in the Dussafu license off Gabon. “We achieved first oil from the Dussafu license on budget and on schedule,” said Carl K. Arnet, CEO of BW Offshore. “The execution of the Dussafu project confirms the attractiveness of our model by combining proven resources, an ingenious organization, and access to producing assets to achieve a short time to oil.”

The Adolo FPSO had previously worked in the Azurite field but was subsequently selected by BW for the development of Tortue. The FPSO unit was prepared for deployment at Tortue by a Keppel shipyard in Singapore and was officially named FPSO BW Adolo in early April.

The BW Adolo arrived in Gabon at the end of July and connected the anchoring systems, and the installation of risers and umbilicals was completed in September.

Dussafu is an Exclusive Exploration Area (“EEA”) of 850 square kilometers located in southern Gabon. The area is valid for 20 years from the first oil production. It contains 5 pre-salt oil discoveries and various additional prospects and leads. Dussafu is operated by BW Energy, and Panoro Energy holds an 8.333% interest.

The development concept involves a current phase 1 consisting of two horizontal wells tied to the BW Adolo FPSO.

John Hamilton, CEO of Panoro Energy, said: “Achieving first oil at Tortue is an important milestone for Panoro, having been involved in the evolution of the Dussafu PSC, from oil discoveries to modern interpretation after the seismic acquisition and now to first commercial production. We are extremely pleased with all stakeholders in this important producing asset in Gabon, and the commencement of oil production at Dussafu represents a significant achievement for Gabon and the Dussafu project team.”

Further announcements will be made in due time regarding production rates and planning for Tortue Phase 2. Additionally, the recently successful well at Ruche North East is currently being evaluated following a lateral track and extensive logging. Results will be announced in the near future, Panoro said.

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

Scientists have discovered a gigantic magnetic anomaly hidden beneath the soil of Australia that mirrors the shape of the entire continent and holds geological records of two and a half billion years that could change what we know about the Earth.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

The heatwave that has been affecting Brazil in recent weeks is coming to an end: a cyclonic vortex is moving in during Holy Week with heavy rains, and a cold air mass is already threatening to lower temperatures in the South starting in April.

With 30 meters in length, a house in England appears to float in the air and surprises engineers and architects around the world due to its visual effect and construction method suspended over sloped terrain.

Called El Inmortal, the building that survived earthquakes in Ecuador seems to balance, defies the laws of physics, and impresses with its bold construction structure.
