Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) on Tuesday said the Jupiter-1 discovery well in block SL-07B-11 located more than 15 miles (25 kilometers) from the Mercury-1 discovery well offshore Sierra Leone, “encountered 98 net feet (30 meters) of hydrocarbon pay in Upper Cretaceous-age reservoirs”.
Anadarko disclosed that Jupiter was “drilled to a total depth of approximately 21,212 feet (6,465 meters) in water depths of approximately 7,215 feet (2,199 meters) in the Sierra Leone/Liberia Basin”.
Once operations are complete at Jupiter, Anadarko said it “will mobilize the rig to drill the Mercury-2 appraisal well in the same block”.
