''...pleased to announce the T sand interval at the Pintadillo-1 discovery has flow tested under natural flow at 590 bopd of 30.4 degrees API oil under choke of 18/64" with strong wellhead pressure of 110psi. The water cut is less than 1% and is decreasing. An interval of 9 feet was perforated within the 15 feet of net pay identified in the T sand. Oil produced is being evacuated through the OBA pipeline with a consequent increase in the Company's production.
In line with Company standard practice the well will be observed at these stable parameters for at least a further three days, after which a downhole pump may be run to provide some lift to the well to optimise flow parameters.
The company plans to re-map the T and U sand targets across this part of block to evaluate the size of the discovery and will make a decision as to future drilling options from the Pintadillo pad thereafter. ..
