Marathon Oil Corporation announced that its subsidiary, Marathon International Petroleum Angola Block 31 Limited, has participated in the Leda discovery well in the central northern area of Block 31 offshore Angola. Leda is Marathon's 29th discovery on Angola Blocks 31 and 32.

The Leda discovery well is located approximately 250 miles off the Angolan coast, and is about 7 miles southwest of the Marte field.
