Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Parex Resources announced an oil discovery at exploration well #1-Andina on the Capachos Block in Colombia’s Llanos Basin. The well encountered the primary Guadalupe Formation reservoir at 16,700 ft and was drilled to 17,500 ft to evaluate a deeper prospective target in Une. Logging results from the well indicate potential hydrocarbon-bearing zones in Mirador, Guadalupe and Une. Logs from Guadalupe suggest the presence of a high-quality reservoir, similar to a previous completion at #2-Capachos that tested flowing 3.65 Mbbl per day of light oil. The Une was completed and production-tested flowing 5.454 Mbbl of oil, 227 bbl of water and 19.4 MMcf of gas. Bottom-hole pressure recorders in the well indicate a stable producing drawdown of 12% and a pressure buildup will be conducted at the end of the test. Calgary-based Parex is the operator of the block and well with 50% interest in partnership Ecopetrol holding 50%.
