Albacora Leste Field Development: Reservoir Aspects and Development Strategy

Albacora Leste, one of the largest Campos basin deepwater oil fields, comprises Miocene sandstones with high porosity and permeability. Net thickness ranges from 5 to 35 m, suggesting horizontal wells. After the deposition stage, erosive channels introduced flow barriers that generated different reservoir compartments. The full-length paper presents the key aspects of the reservoirs as well as the strategy adopted during project implementation.
