Spudding of Calao-1X, CPO-5
Amerisur Resources Plc, the oil and gas producer and explorer focused on South America, is pleased to announce that the spudding of Calao-1X, an exploration well on the CPO-5 block using rig E-2029, occurred on 1 February 2019.
Calao-1X is the second well to be drilled from the Indico pad to determine the prospectivity of the Lower Sands ("LS3") formation around the Indico discovery. As previously announced, initial analysis by the Company indicated that a 283 feet gross, 209 feet net, oil column is present in the LS3 formation at Indico-1.
Calao-1X will be a directional well, with a planned total measured depth of approximately 11,940 feet, targeting a structure alongside Indico to the southwest, towards the Aguila structure. On a simple structural basis, the Company estimates potential resources at Calao-1X of between 2 and 9.8 MMBO gross. However, given the results at Indico-1, which indicate the potential for combination trapping, the Company believes potential resources may be significantly higher. The drilling of Pavo Real-1, which targets a similar structure to Calao adjoining Indico to the northeast, will follow Calao-1X.
