Initial Production Rates Pad-5, Goudron Field, Trinidad

 

LGO today announces that production testing is now underway on wells GY-676 and GY-677, the second and third wells drilled on Pad-5 in the Goudron Field in Trinidad. After initial clean up, well GY-677 delivered a maximum natural flow rate of approximately 380 barrels oil per day ("bopd") through a 5/32-inch choke. Well GY-676 has flowed at rates up to 240 bopd through a 9/32-inch choke and is now undergoing further tests through a gas separator in order to better manage gas being produced with the oil.

 

Well GY-675, which was placed on production last week, flowed at a rate of 240 bopd through a 5/32-inch choke during the main test period. An absolute open-hole flow rate of 850 bopd has been calculated from the production tests and a 5/32-inch choke selected for initial production.

 

The oil gravity from the three Pad-5 wells is excellent ranging between 34 and 44 degree API. All three wells have been completed in the C-sand reservoir.

 

Elsewhere in the field, well GY-678 has now reached a depth of 3,198 feet MD and a 30-foot core is currently being cut to provide additional data on the C-sand reservoirs that will be input into future development planning, including the anticipated enhanced oil recovery project.

 

Neil Ritson, LGO's Chief Executive, commented:

"We are delighted that all the Pad-5 wells are being brought on stream successfully. Good initial flow rates and pressures, along with careful production management, are key to LGO remaining a successful low cost oil operator during the current period of prolonged low commodity prices. Managing production decline rates and optimizing the development of the large reserves base at Goudron play a key role in creating a sustainable development. We are now confident that with the experience gained through the last 14 wells, drilling over a 16 month period, that we can achieve that objective."
