The targets for Melbana’s proposed two well drilling program in Block 9 were selected following an extensive review of the available data, which included several generations of seismic surveys, gravity studies and prior wells. Melbana’s first well, Alameda-1, is targeting the same structure drilled in the late 1980s by CUPET (Cuba’s National Oil Company) with a well they called Marti 5, which itself was a follow up to Marti 1 and 2 – both of which had recorded oil shows. Marti 5 recorded oil shows over an 850 metre gross interval and recovered a lighter oil (24° API) than is typically found in Cuba (the higher the API number, the lighter the oil).

In the early 2000s, CUPET revisited the Marti 2 and Marti 5 wellsites and found them to be leaking oil. A sample was taken from Marti 5 and it was found to be 32º API. A second sample taken from Marti 5 before CUPET plugged both wells was reported to be ~38° API.

Melbana’s first well, Alameda-1, is positioned close to where these previous wells were drilled in order to test a number of the structures identified by its analysis of the seismic and gravitational data as the possible source of these hydrocarbons.

Melbana completed an initial two well exploration program in 2022, the first of which (designated Alameda-1) encountered three geologically independent oil-bearing intervals, each with moveable oil accompanied by high pressure, that were subsequently independently estimated to contain oil in place of 5.0 billion barrels for a Prospective Resource of 267 million barrels (gross unrisked best estimate)*,1 - an 89% increase of the predrill prognosis.
