Notes to editors
Amerisur Resources is an independent full-cycle oil and gas company focused on South America, with assets in Colombia and Paraguay. Amerisur's strategy is to acquire, explore and develop large acreage positions in major underexplored basins located in South America.
In Colombia, the Company is operator and has a 100% working interest in the Platanillo block. The 14,341 hectare block is located in the Putumayo Basin, in the south of Colombia, and currently produces around 4,300bopd. In November 2012, the Company successfully bid for block Putumayo-12, which is adjacent to Platanillo and is operator with a 60% working interest. The Company also holds 100% of the Fenix block, a 24,117 hectare area in the Middle Magdalena Basin of Colombia. The company has recently completed the acquisition of a 59.42km 2D seismic survey in the southern part of the Fenix block. In Paraguay, Amerisur is the largest acreage holder in the country, with 6.2 million hectares covering two 100% owned oil and gas permits in the Paraguayan part of the Chaco and Parana Basins.
