Building on a previous announcement dated January 2nd, Galp now confirms the discovery of a significant column of light oil in reservoir-bearing sands of high quality. The acquired data will continue to be analyzed and a Drill Stem Test (?DST?) may be performed in the coming weeks to assess the commercial viability of the discovery. The drilling operations at Mopane-1X will proceed to explore deeper targets. Upon completion, the rig will be relocated to the Mopane-2X location to further evaluate the extent of the Mopane discovery. PEL 83 is located immediately north of PEL 39 home to Shell?s basin opening discoveries at Graff-1, La Rona-1 and Jonker-1. Additionally, it is located north and west of PEL 56 where TotalEnergies announced is giant oil discovery at Venus-1.
