Petrobras has completed the formation test (evaluation of an oil deposit’s potential) on well 3-BRSA-1286-SES (ANP nomenclature), located in concession BM-SEAL-11, in ultra-deep waters of Sergipe-Alagoas Basin.

The well is 102.7 km from the city Aracaju (SE) and 10.3 km from the discovery well, at a water depth of 2,467 meters. Results of the formation test have confirmed the occurrence of light oil (37º API) and the good productivity of the reservoirs.

This is the third extension well in the Farfan area, which was discovered in October 2012, and the initial drilling results had been announced on February 2 of this year.

The consortium, operated by Petrobras (60%) in partnership with IBV-Brasil (40%), will proceed with the Discovery Evaluation Plan (PAD)
