Repsol finds oil offshore Gabon

Repsol and partner Woodside have discovered oil in the Ivela-1 exploration well in the Luna Muetse (E13) block offshore Gabon, according to Spectrum Geo.

The well intersected a 78-metre (256-foot) gross oil column, a month after a Petronas discovery in presalt sands in the Boudji-1 well in the nearby Likuale (F14) block.

In a separate development, Spectrum and Shearwater GeoServices have signed an agreement concerning provision of Shearwater Reveal software to Spectrum’s seismic imaging division.

Reveal is said to facilitate rapid testing of advanced workflows and parameter selection, which improves productivity. The programming interface will allow Spectrum to insert its own proprietary technologies into the same environment for seamless workflows.
