Before we forget what this site is about maybe we should remind ourselves of the plus sides to ECHOs assets.
On the 14th October we received news that the first workover had been completed and this flowed at 76 bbl/d, we have another 15 workovers waiting to be completed, I think it likely the next workover wells are being worked on right now.
If we are being conservative we might use an average production rate of 45 bbl/d from each of these 16 wells once all 16 are back in production, the figure could be higher or lower, who knows, but 16 x 45 would equate to 720 bbl/d, add these onto the Campo Molino production we should be on or around an oil production of 1000 bbl/d.
The above work is in line with MHs low cost low risk strategy. For details of the workovers see page 9 of the latest presentation.
On top of the expected 1000 bbl/d mentioned above we can add on our current gas production which we are selling the bulk off to commercial customers so the end of winter should not have a great effect on gas sales.
It was recently announced that Argentina will open its borders on November 1st, this would allow the specialists required for Campo Limite testing to enter the country, we can only guess what CL might bring to the table but the signs look very very good, might I suggest you read the RNS released 30th January 2020 ref CLix-1001 well, also we should not forget Monte Aymond (ref 29th Sept 2020 RNS), this previously produced gas flow of 5 MMscf/d before being shut in years ago when oil was the prize, MA will require a reasonably inexpensive workover and there are various options for transporting the gas with either a 2.6 km pipeline into Chile or a hub development via Campo Limite which lies around 5km away.
Purely my opinion but another 6 months of patience and ECHOs current sp will be history, as always DYOR, and try not to be misled by the trolls that infest this board.
Yes we have had gas compressor issues bringing wells back into production and yes Campo Molino experienced temporary production problems in October but make no mistake we will come through this, would be great if we could move faster but as MH is the guy with his finger on the pulse we need to accept his judgement, the important thing is the end result.
