Paon
Operator:Tullow

Region:Africa - West
Country:Cote d'Ivoire

Project Description
The Paon prospect is situated in Block CI-103 offshore Cote d’Ivoire. Tullow operates the block with a 45 percent stake.

Paon-1X, the first deepwater exploration well drilled in the license, encountered 102 feet (31 meters) of net oil pay in a gross interval of 243 feet (74 meters) of turbidite sands. Pressure data indicates that this interval contains a continuous hydrocarbon column and samples show that it is a light oil of 41 degrees API. Further analysis is required to determine reservoir quality and the extent of the fan system.

Following completion of logging operations, the well will be suspended for possible future use in appraisal and development operations. Drilled by the Eirik Raude semisub, the Paon-1X well will reached a final depth of 16,699 feet ...

Tullow Oil Intersects Good Quality Oil in Paon
Type: New Discovery

Jun. 2012 - Tullow Oil reported that the Paon-1X exploration well in the CI-303 license offshore Cote d'Ivoire has intersected good quality light oil in a Turonian fan system. Paon-1X, the first deepwater exploration well drilled in the license, encountered 102 feet (31 meters) of net oil pay in a gross interval of 243 feet (74 meters) of turbidite sands. Pressure data indicates that this interval contains a continuous hydrocarbon column and samples show that it is a light oil of 41 degrees API. Further analysis is required to determine reservoir quality and the extent of the fan system. Following completion of logging operations, the well will be suspended for possible future use in appraisal and development operations. Drilled by the Eirik Raude (UDW semisub), the Paon-1X well reached a final depth of 16,699 feet (5,090 meters) in a water depth of 7,195 feet (2,193 meters).

Exploration in CI-103 to Start Early 2012
Type: Drilling Operations

Aug. 2011 - Tullow and its partner, Anadarko, have secured the Eirik Raude to drill the Paon-1 exploration well offshore Cote d'Ivorie in early 2012.

Paon
Discovery (Drilled) - Jun 15, 2012 to -

Exploratory Drilling - Apr 27, 2012 to Jun 14, 2012

Paon-1 is a high impact prospect which is geologically independent from Kosrou.
