Americas Petrogas provide interim results of its ongoing drilling program targeting the Eastern portion of the Neuquen Basin of Argentina.
The first well of this drilling program that was completed on Medanito Sur block is the El Jabali a-2 well. The well has made a significant discovery of light crude oil from the sandstone formation above the Pre Cuyo in a 10 metre interval at a depth of 1036 metres. The well test resulted in 99% oil, flowing on a 10 mm choke with 300 psi wellhead pressure. After completion tests, the well was tied in to production facilities, put on production and is currently producing approximately 700 barrels of oil per day.
This latest discovery confirms the growing oil potential of the Medanito Sur block and the geological model of the western part of the block
