- On 7 October 2014, Cairn Energy and its partners announced that a significant oil discovery had been made in the FAN-1 exploration well in the Sangomar Deep block, Senegal's first offshore discovery
- 29m net pay
- Gross oil interval of >500m
- No OWC encountered
- Distinct oil types recovered 28-41 API
- This was followed by a second discovery in the SNE-1 well, announced on 10 November 2014
- 36m net pay
- Gross oil interval of 95m with gas cap
- Oil of 32 API, oil and water recovered to surface
- 1C: 150mmbbl, 2C:330mmbbl, 3C: 670mmbbl
- Block is operated by Cairn (40%) - other partners are COP (35%), Far (15%), Petrosen (10%)
- SNE-1 is potentially commercial on a standalone basis; FAN-1 economics more marginal - may be tied back to SNE-1 or warrant a stand-alone development, will need further delineation
