we have the right to ask where is the money since there are no new well but they shut few of them temporarily.
the sales drop is only effecting limited period as they said sales are picking up again 'winter'.
Net gas production averaged 6.3 MMscf/d during Q1 2023, which was down on Q4 2022 levels (Q4 2022: 7.3 MMscf/d) as a result of facilities maintenance, to allow for increased future facilities uptime, which was carried out across several assets (Oceano, Cerro Note & Campo Bremen) during Q1 2023 and before the onset of winter in the southern hemisphere.
Net liquids production in Q1 2023 averaged 213 bopd, a reduction of c.29% on the Q4 2022 average of 298 bopd, as a result of an overstock of fuel oil within the Argentinian domestic market during February and March. As a result, and with a number of customers either reducing or suspending liquid offtake from the Joint Venture, the Santa Cruz Sur partners took the commercial decision to temporarily shut in several oil wells at Campo Molino. This had the impact of reducing aggregate liquids sales volumes by around 72% in Q1 2023 (Q1 2023: 7,803 boe) when compared to Q4 2022. The domestic market situation now appears to be improving with a number of sales from Santa Cruz Sur having already taken place during April.
