BW Energy has confirmed a substantial oil discovery at its Bourdon prospect in the Dussafu License offshore Gabon. The company’s second sidetrack DBM-1 ST2 well has revealed approximately 56 million barrels of oil in place, with about 25 million barrels considered recoverable.
“The appraisal well confirms the potential for establishing a new development cluster with a production facility following the MaBoMo blueprint. We expect at least four producing wells,” said Carl K. Arnet, CEO of BW Energy. “We continue to successfully expand the Dussafu reserve base which, together with multiple additional prospects yet to be drilled, will support long-term production and value-creation in Gabon.”
The discovery features the lowest viscosity oil of all Dussafu discoveries at 3.5 centipoise, compared to higher viscosities at other fields. Located approximately 15 kilometers west of FPSO BW Adolo and 7.5 kilometers southeast of the MaBoMo facility, the find will enable BW Energy to book additional reserves not included in its 2024 Statement of Reserves.
