Drilling Activity Summary
Description
GeoPark, based in Buenos Aries, announces the discovery of a new gas field, Jauke Oeste, in the Fell Block in Chile. Exploration well #1 Jauke Oeste was drilled to 9,596 ft. A production test in Tobifera flowed 4.4 MMcf per day of gas with 52 bbl of condensate per day. The wellhead pressure was 3,141 psi. Additional production history is required to determine stabilized flow rates of the well and the extent of the reservoir. The Jauke Oeste gas field is about 1 km north of the Jauke gas field, which is currently producing about 8 MMcf of gas per day from two wells. Jauke and Jauke Oeste gas fields are part of the large Dicky geological structure in the Fell Block. Additional testing and exploration is planned by operator GeoPark, including exploratory wells at #1 Leun in the Flamenco Block, #1 Huillin well in the Isla Norte Block and #1 Koo 1 in the Campanario block in the Isla Norte block and #1 Koo 1 in the Campanario block.
