Discovery Is in the Pre-Salt of the Santos Basin in the Southern Block of Gato do Mato and the Well Is the 13th with Indications of Oil Discovered This Year

Released in June to Begin Drilling, Shell has just announced the discovery of oil at a water depth of 2,067 meters to the south of the Gato do Mato block in the pre-salt of the Santos basin.
The well, named 3-SHEL-30-RJS, where the discovery was made, was drilled by the Brava Star rig, contracted by the Anglo-Dutch oil company from Constellation.

The rig began drilling just over a month ago and has already delivered the first results. The equipment belongs to Constellation (formerly Queiroz Galvão Oil and Gas).
The rig was rented to drill four wells in the Gato do Mato asset, the contract duration was one year and began this year.

The Asset

Shell acquired the southern block of Gato do Mato in partnership with the French company Total in the second production sharing round of the ANP in 2017, having paid a bonus of R$ 100 million.

The development project for the production of the assets provides for the installation of an FPSO with a capacity to produce 90,000 bopd and compress 8.5 million m³/d of natural gas, with the first oil expected from the third quarter of 2023.

With this discovery by Shell, the number of wells with indications of oil and/or natural gas in the country in 2019 reaches thirteen; the other discoveries were in two production sharing areas: Peroba, operated by Petrobras, and North of Carcará by Equinor.
