HYDROCARBONS. Canadian and local capital oil company PetroTal Corp. expects to increase its production levels to 10,000 barrels per day in lot 95 (Brittany drilling well) by the end of the year, as part of the Loreto hydrocarbons production expansion program.
Manuel Zúñiga Pflucker, president of the company's board of directors, said that the company is in the process of building and bringing equipment to lot 95, which will be ready by the end of the year.
To do this, it will focus on building a Central Processing Facility (CPF) that will allow 10,000 barrels of oil to be produced per day in a first phase. Currently, it has been producing about 5,000 barrels per day.
Dynamism and perspective
By 2020, PetroTal plans to build more facilities (CPF 2) to expand its production capacity to 20,000 barrels a day of oil and subsequently increase production in an additional phase in lot 95.
"With a CPF 3 installation, it is expected to have 20 producing wells," said the president of the company.
Zúñiga also noted that in Lot 95 there is an objective (Envy) of interest to expand explorations, in addition to doing more seismic work. The Envy area is located 12 kilometers from Brittany.
Production and reserves
In the case of lot 95, Petro-Tal estimates that oil production in 2020 would reach three million barrels, and by 2021 it will produce more than four million barrels of oil. Lot 95 has proven and probable reserves (2P ) of about 40 million barrels.
While in proven, probable and possible reserves (3P), the volume is at 80 million barrels.
"Investors expect that, next March, the reserves will be between 20 million and 40 million barrels," said Zúñiga.
