• The Mopane-3X exploration well has encountered columns of light oil and gas-condensates across the AVO-10 interval, as well as light oil columns at AVO-13 and at a deeper sand. • The sandstone reservoirs are of excellent quality, with high permeability and porosity, and higher-than-estimated pressure. The oil has low viscosity, with minimal CO2 and H2S content. • This new discovery has multiple positive implications. It could open up a new development area in the southeast of PEL-83, with incr ....
