Woodside Energy has reported stronger-than-expected performance at its Sangomar field offshore Senegal, with production at plateau levels now expected to extend into the second quarter of 2025, thanks to highly productive reservoirs.
The field’s S500 reservoirs have displayed “excellent productivity”, leading to a significant reserves upgrade. Woodside announced the addition of 16.2 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) to proved reserves and 15.4 million boe to proved-plus-probable reserves.
Reservoir Performance Exceeding Expectations
The Sangomar project has benefited from four injector-producer well pairs in the S400 reservoirs, which have delivered better-than-anticipated results. These wells have reduced concerns about connectivity risks, underscoring the field’s potential for sustained output.
“The early performance of these reservoirs is exceeding our prestart expectations, demonstrating both the high productivity and the robust potential of the Sangomar field,” Woodside stated.
This development reinforces Sangomar’s role as a cornerstone of Woodside’s West African portfolio, positioning the company to capitalize on robust oil production while exploring future growth opportunities in the region.
