UK company Trinity Exploration & Production has found what it describes as "virgin oil in a super-mature basin" onshore Trinidad and Tobago with over 290 feet of net oil pay at the Jacobin-1 well.
The operator said today it had successfully encountered hydrocarbons at the Jacobin-1 well in the Palo Seco area, onshore Trinidad, drilling to a total depth of 10,021 feet - one of the deepest wells drilled in recent times within the area.
The well hit 290 feet of net oil pay including 63 feet of net oil pay in the deeper exploration targets.
A comprehensive logging and pressure sampling programme confirmed virgin pressures in these deeper zones.
The company said the results validated the geological model and were within the pre-drill range for a commercial discovery.
