Murombe’s geology is very similar to the Marlim fiMurombe’s geology is very similar to the Marlim field in the Campos basin, Pires said.

Marlim has produced more than any other Brazilian field and has only been surpassed in size by the giant new Brazilian finds in the Santos Basin.
“Marlim is spread over a 1 400-square-kilometre area and Murombe over 1 100 square kilometres,
but if we find a good oil generating rock we could find something there very much like Marlim,” he said.
, well that is no IF anymore...
Joe Paul said in the Winagt results Conference Call:
the source potential we had shown and we had proven has significant generative potential to create huge volumes of oil in the walvis basin and charge our prospects as we continue with our exploration program, one final comment, generally reservoirs and porosity are very easy to find and so that shouldn't be the big concern, whereas source rock, charge and migration pathways can be very difficult,
Wagner Peres said last year:
- The oil migration condition into the reservoir couldn’t be better.
- deposition of these systems, both of Marlin and Murombe, are exactly the same. The magnitudes are similar, so in the South Atlantic, yes, we might find a field of 1,100 km², since the Marlin complex of the Campos basin has proved that this is true.
- It’s gigantic, with a potential resource of around 10.7 billion barrels, again P10 with no risk applied.
