Offshore
well: E6-1
E6-1
exploration well was
drilled by CO Petrobaltic in 1984, in the southern part of the Latvia
offshore area ca 40 km to SW of Liepaja, near the top of large faulted
structure.
The
well encountered 10 m thick oil saturated interval in the uppermost part
of Ordovician. The interval was tested in cased well. About 4 bbl of
waterless oil have been recovered during 6 hours.
Middle
Cambrian sandstone in E6-1 well was encountered water-saturated, with oil shows and excellent reservoir
properties.
Oil
shows in Devonian in E6-1 probably mean that there was oil leakage from
the Lower Palaeozoic reservoirs. But, it does not exclude better
preservation conditions within other tectonic blocks of this large and
complex structure.
