Aker Energy has announced that its oil exploration in the Deepwater Cape Three Points block in Ghana have been successful.
The company explained that initial works done show that its Pecan4A well in the block could be holding some 450 to 550 million barrels of oil.
This, the company said has paved the way for further works on other wells in the block as it completes the main well—the Pecan4A.
A statement published by the company and sighted by Citi Business News explained that “the main purpose of Pecan-4A appraisal well was to confirm Aker Energy’s understanding of the geology in the area and to identify deep oil water contact in the Pecan reservoir. This was successfully proven”.
The Pecan field is approximately 166 kilometres southwest of Takoradi in Ghana, to a vertical depth of 4,870 meters in 2,667 meters of water, containing seven discoveries.
On his part, the Chief Executive Officer of Aker Energy, Jan Arve Haugan assured that the company will soon present a field development plan to various Ghanaian authorities in the oil and gas industry.
