Marlim

Marlim

Marlim is the name of a giant Brazilian oil field located in the north-eastern part of Campos Basin, about 110 km offshore Rio de Janeiro, in water depths ranging from 650m to 1,050m. Marlim means Marlin, in Portuguese.

Marlim was originally discovered by well in February 1985. The 75m column was predominantly unconsolidated sandstone, with a permeability as high as two darcies. The discovery also showed high-gravity oil (17-21 degree API). At the time of discovery, the Marlim reservoir had an oil-in-place volume of about 9 billion barrels and an expectated 1.7 billion barrels of oil in total reserves.[1]
