StatoilHydro, together with operator Anadarko and partners, made a discovery in the Vito prospect in deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The Vito well is located in Mississippi Canyon block 984, about 70km SW of the Thunder Hawk field. The well was drilled to a total depth of 9757m and is believed to have encountered some 80m of net pay, although final test results are still pending. StatoilHydro has a 25% working interest in Vito.
