Petronas finds deepwater oil and gas offshore Gabon

Petronas subsidiary PC Gabon Upstream SA (PCGUSA) has announced a new oil and gas discovery from its Boudji-1 exploration well in Block F14 (Likuale), located in South Gabon.

The ultra-deepwater exploration well, drilled in water depths of 2,800 metres, encountered 90 metres of gross high-quality hydrocarbon-bearing pre-salt sands.

The discovery marks a milestone for Petronas as it expands upstream growth in West Africa, demonstrating its frontier exploration and deepwater operational capabilities.

PCGUSA is the operator for Block F14 (Likuale), with Australia’s Woodside holding a 30% participating interest.
