The Brulpadda Discovery and Accelerated Follow-up de-risking in a Complex Environment

The Brulpadda discovery Operated by Total (45%) in early 2019 has been part of a long journey of technical expertise, engineering collaboration and R&D integration in order to execute the well in only 61 days with 4% WoW in such an environment.

The Brulpadda well is the first well drilled in the Deep Offshore of South Africa and tested the

Paddavissie Play within the Outeniqua Basin. The well was drilled on 2D data supported by AVO with further follow-up potential already mapped on the trend.

In order to accelerate follow-up exploration a post discovery 3D seismic survey had already been prepared prior to Brulpadda well spud enabling first shot less than a month after P&A of well operations. A Fast Track 3D volume allowed preparation of a follow-up drilling program scheduled to start in Q2 2020 utilising the proven capabilities of the DSS.
