2010 Success
Anadarko announced its third significant discovery offshore Ghana in July 2010, at the Owo prospect. The Owo-1 well encountered approximately 174 net feet of high-quality oil pay. The Owo discovery comes on the heels of another discovery and successful appraisal well at the adjacent Tweneboa field, also located on the Deepwater Tano Block. An active appraisal program is ongoing.
In February 2010, Anadarko announced the first deepwater discovery offshore Mozambique. In total, the Windjammer exploration well discovered more than 550 net feet of natural gas pay in high-quality reservoir sands, with a gross column of more than 1,200 feet. The company is continuing with an active exploration program in the Offshore Area 1 of the Rovuma Basin.
2009 Success
Anadarko was one of the most successful deepwater explorers in 2009 with nine significant discoveries -- four of them in international waters. The company announced discoveries at the Mahogany Deep and Tweneboa prospects offshore Ghana, the Venus prospect offshore Sierra Leone and the Itaipu pre-salt prospect offshore Brazil. Each of these discoveries helped Anadarko achieve an overall deepwater exploration success rate of better than 50 percent.
