oil and gas production29 Jun 2021 10:45
Echo has already achieved $11m revenue from selling oil and gas last year at the low prices . At todays prices this figure should be $18m this year. The extra work we are expecting is about bringing back other well to production. it will be an extra income as we get more active wells:
The Company is pleased to confirm that following fabrication, installation of the pipeline infrastructure required to bring back online the liquids production previously shut in April 2020 is now complete. The schedule has been delivered in line with the timeline anticipated in the Company's announcement of 24th February 2021.
It is expected that the first tranche of production to be brought back online will be from ten wells in the Campo Molino and Chorillos oils fields. This work to bring the initial production back online is expected to take around 15 days. When these wells were last online, the combined gross production was approximately 138 bopd gross, 96 bopd net to Echo.
This first tranche of restored production will increase the number of active producing oil wells at Santa Cruz Sur to 18. Subsequent tranches of production when brought back online should increase this active oil well stock to around 35. The programme of work to bring online the subsequent tranches of wells will be optimised both to maximise cost efficiencies and accelerate production increases.
