Petrobras completes Morpho drilling with third Oil discovery

Petrobras has identified a third oil-bearing interval in the Morpho exploration well, in block FZA-M-59 offshore Amapá, and completed drilling and geological data acquisition. The update was announced on October 29.
​
Located in the Foz do Amazonas Basin, in 2,886 metres of water, Morpho had two previous discoveries announced in August and early October. All three relate to different intervals within the same well.
​
Following well abandonment operations, the NS-42 drilling rig is scheduled to move to the Potiguar Basin, offshore Rio Grande do Norte, to drill the Mãe de Ouro prospect.
​
Petrobras operates FZA-M-59 with a 100% interest.
