In Portugal, the Aljubarrota - 4 well, the first of four (0.4 net) exploratory wells in the Lusitanian Basin, was drilled to 2,110 meters, approximately 300 meters into the Jurrassic Brenha target zone.
The initial program was designed to test the upper 300 metres of the 750 metre thick gas- bearing Brenha reservoir section previously discovered by the operator in the Aljubarrota - 2 well, roughly 400 metres east-southeast of Aljubarrota - 4.
At Aljubarrota - 4, the upper Brenha section is not intensely fractured and integration of the open hole well log data with the existing seismic coverage suggests the target lies slightly deeper.
