U.S. oil company Anadarko has announced an oil discovery in the Campos Basin in southeastern Brazil, Xinhua quoted local daily O Globo as reporting. The field, nicknamed Wahoo, was discovered by a consortium of four companies, of which Anadarko is the main operator. The other three are U.S. company Devon, India's EnCana and South Korea's SK Energy. The Wahoo field, off the coast of Espirito Santo state, is 40 km away from the Jubarte mega oil field, which is Brazil's first producing pre-salt well. Oil reserves in the Wahoo field are yet to be estimated. Preliminary results at Wahoo indicate similar characteristics to the Jubarte well. The capacity of the Jubarte field has been estimated at 4 billion barrels of crude.
