The exploration well Liyeke Marine-1 reached a total depth of 1,140 meters. The Sendji formation was encountered on depth as forecasted, but the formation was water bearing. A 62 meter heavy oil column was found in the overlying sediments, but the log and sample data indicated that the oil would not flow.
The jack-up drilling rig Pride Cabinda is now preparing to move to the second well, an appraisal of the existing pre-salt Viodo oil field, at a location approximately one kilometre from the field's discovery well.
Lundin Petroleum has a 18.75 percent working interest in the licence which is operated by SOCO International.
