Successful GOM well (Winterfell-2 )
U.S. oil and gas company Beacon Offshore has completed the drilling of the Winterfell-2 appraisal well located on Block 943 in the Green Canyon area of the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Winterfell-2 well is around 5,800 feet of water and was drilled to a total depth of approximately 28,500 feet. The Winterfell-2 well was drilled to evaluate the adjacent fault block to the northwest of the original Winterfell discovery and was designed to test two horizons that were oil-bearing in the Winterfell-1 well, with an exploration tail into a deeper horizon. The well discovered approximately 120 feet of net oil pay in the first and second horizons with better oil saturation and porosity than pre-drill expectations. The exploration tail has discovered an additional oil-bearing horizon in a deeper reservoir which is also prospective in the blocks immediately to the north. The results of this appraisal well further define the resource potential in the central Winterfell area, with the current estimate around 100 million barrels gross.(Rig zone) https://www.rigzone.com/news/successful_gom_drilling_enables_lowcost_development-18-jan-2022-167615-article/?utm_campaign=DAILY_2022_01_18&utm_source=GLOBAL_ENG&utm_medium=EM_NW_F3
