Oil was proven, but with less reservoir thickness than expected. Data has been gathered in the reservoir zones, including pressure tests and oil samplings.

The partners have decided to drill a sidetrack to investigate if discovery is commercial.

The well was drilled in PL 027D, but the costs are shared with PL 504 and PL 169C.
