Petrobras finishes Pudim well in the Espírito Santo basin post-salt

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Petrobras has completed drilling extension well 3-ESS-219D, informally known as Pudim, at a water depth of 1,886 m, in the Espírito Santo basin post-salt.

The completion of this well, which had been announced to the market on Oct. 7, confirmed the presence of excellent quality oil through log data analysis, fluid samples and a cable test conducted in reservoirs located at a depth of some 4,300 m. Drilling ended at a depth of 4,670 m.

Then, a cased-hole drill-stem test was conducted at the 4,305 to 4,383 m interval that confirmed the presence of light oil of approximately 35° API.

The well is located in the Brigadeiro Discovery Evaluation Plan (PAD) area, 121 km from the city of Vitória, in Espírito Santo state.

Petrobras is the operator (65%) of the consortium responsible for the exploration of the Brigadeiro Discovery Evaluation Plan (PAD), in partnership with PTTEP Brasil Investimentos em Exploração e Produção de Petróleo e Gás Ltda (20%) and Inpex Petróleo Santos Ltda (15%).
