Repsol has made a new discovery of “high quality” oil in the United States’ Gulf of Mexico.
The find was made 352 kilometres from the Louisiana coast in an ultra-deep water well named Leon, located in the Keathley Canyon 642 block.
Repsol is the operator of the discovering consortium. The well found more than 150 metres of net oil pay within a column of over 400 metres. The well was drilled in water 1,865 metres deep, and reached a total depth of 9,684 metres, making it one of the deepest wells operated by the company.
