Woodside Energy has described two discoveries offshore southern Gabon as non-commercial because of the water depth and development costs. The Petronas-operated Boudji-1 exploration well drilled in Q1 2018 in the Likuale (F14) Block intersected a 90-metre oil and gas column in high-quality hydrocarbon-bearing pre-salt sands.
