Anadarko (APC) Discovers Increased Resources Offshore Mozambique

October 5, 2011 6:44 AM EDT
Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: APC) today announced the cumulative results of its exploration and appraisal success offshore Mozambique have substantially increased the resource potential in the Offshore Area 1 of the deepwater Rovuma Basin. The appraisal section of its most recent exploration well at the Camarão prospect encountered approximately 240 net feet (73 meters) of natural gas pay in an excellent-quality reservoir and confirmed static pressure connectivity with the partnership's previously announced Windjammer and Lagosta discoveries. In addition, the Camarão well discovered approximately 140 net feet (43 meters) of natural gas pay in shallower Miocene and Oligocene sand packages not encountered in previous wells.

The Camarão discovery well was drilled to a total depth of approximately 12,630 feet in water depths of approximately 4,730 feet. The well is located approximately 5 miles south of the partnership's original Windjammer discovery and approximately 10 miles north of its Lagosta discovery. The Camarão well will be preserved as part of the partnership's drillstem testing program, and the drillship will be mobilized north to drill the Barquentine-3 appraisal well.
