Total Gabon has made a first discovery in Gabon’s new pre-salt play with the Diaman #1B well on the Diaba Block (AE 253/12). The well was drilled to a total depth of 5,585 metres, and encountered 50-55 metres of net hydrocarbons in the target pre-salt formations, which Total’s partner Cobalt International said were thought to be gas and condensate. The well was drilled in 1,729 metres of water, more than 100km from the nearest commercial pre-salt discovery.
