Press Release12/04/2010 16:39
The new find in the Perla 2X well, in the Gulf of Venezuela, has increased by 30% the reserves estimate for Repsol’s biggest ever gas discovery.
The discovering consortium is jointly operated by Repsol and Eni with a 50% stake each.
Repsol continues its record exploratory campaign, adding to the growing trend of reserves incorporation which will allow the company’s upstream unit (exploration and production) to reach its goal of a 125% reserve replacement ratio in 2012.
The field may contain recoverable gas volumes of between 1.6 and 1.85 billion barrels of oil equivalent, (enough to fulfil Spain’s gas demand for seven years).
