Echo Energy
Echo Energy announced a gas discovery at its ELM-1004 well on Fracci�n C asset onshore Argentina. The well was drilled to TD of 1760m in the Lower Tobifera formation and encountered 40m of gas shows in the Upper Tobifera with gas peaks of over 195/- ppm and a full distribution of C1 to C5 hydrocarbons as measured against referenced background gas levels of less than 10/- ppm outside of the zone.
The data is highly complicated but initial interpretation computes around 14.5m of net pay with the section being �towards the upper end of the range and encouraging from a volumetric and value perspective�. Next stop is a completion rig here which should arrive in June, in the meantime the rig moves to Los Alamos x-1 (ELA-1) which should spud shortly. Echo shareholders should be delighted that the Fracci�n C programme has started so well especially after initial success at Fracci�n D and this is a great result for the company.
