Cuba Block 9 – Exploration Resource Potential
Cuba Block 9 – Exploration Resource Potential
Multi-billion barrel oil in place exploration potential identified
Lower Sheet Play
•
•
Exploration potential for over 12
billion barrels of oil-in-place with
Prospective Resources of ~600
million barrels (unrisked Best
Estimate, 100% basis)*
18 individual leads identified in
conventional "Lower Sheet Play"
Depths between 2,000 and 3,500
metres
High potential Alameda prospect
identified close to historical oil
recoveries
Recoverable volumes conservatively
estimated using the historical 5%
recovery factor for nearby Cuban
fields
Potential for higher quality light crude
oil suggested by historical oil
recoveries
Varadero Field is the largest oil field
in Cuba with over 11 billion barrels
of oil in place (10.5-14.3° API)
Varadero
Bolanos-1 (1991) recorded a recovery
of 22° API oil from Upper Sheet
