LONDON (Alliance News) - Amerisur Resources PLC on Wednesday reported an increase in the certified resources of its Colombian production assets.
The South America-focused oil and gas producer reported 17.8 million barrels of oil in working interest certified 1P proved resources in between the assets of Platanillo, CPO-5 and Mecaya.
The company owns a 100% stake in Platanillo, 50% in Mecaya and 30% in CPO-5.
Working interest Proved & Probable resources, 2P, amounted to 25.6 million barrels of oil.
This represents an increase of 28% in 1P and 24% in 2P reserves from year-end 2017, the company explained.
"The drilling success at Indico-1, together with the strong production behaviour observed at Mariposa-1 through the year have delivered a material increase in the company's reserve base.
