Amerisur Resources Plc, the oil and gas producer and explorer
focused on South America, is pleased to provide an update on
production operations in Colombia.
On pad 2N, the recently drilled well Platanillo-22 continues to
exceed expectations. Following an optimisation of the hydraulic
pump design the well is now producing approximately 851 barrels of
31.5deg API oil per day (bopd) under stable conditions with 0.1 %
water cut.
Well Platanillo-21, has been tested at 430 barrels of oil per
day (BOPD) with 62% water cut from a 5ft perforated interval in the
upper U sand and 11.5ft perforated interval in the lower U sand,
using a hydraulic pump lifting system. The tested oil quality the
same as Platanillo-22 at 31.5 degrees API. The relatively high
water cut is due to a channel in the cement over the reservoir
sections which will be treated at a future date. The pre-drill
production estimate for this well was in the range of 300 to 400
BOPD. The well has been placed on commercial production and
produced oil is being trucked to the southern pads for export via
the OBA system.
Platanillo-25, the third well from Pad 2N is currently being
planned as a directional well stepping out to the south of Pad 2N,
and is expected to spud in early July.
In line with the Company's optimisation work in the Platanillo
field, an organic chemical treatment was performed on well
Platanillo-24. This well, in a similar manner to some other
producing wells had suffered a rapid decline in production. Post
the organic treatment the well is producing approximately 820 bopd
in a stable manner, using a hydraulic pump lifting system. Amerisur
is currently considering other candidates for similar treatments,
including Platanillo-20, Platanillo-9, Platanillo-14, Platanillo-12
and Platanillo-5.
