Platanillo-2 ST1 has been drilled to a depth of 9,396ft, entering the reservoir approximately 3,102ft south of Platform A. The well encountered 68ft gross, 39ft net of oil column in good quality U sands. This result further confirms the geological model and was in line with the pre-drill prognosis. The well is currently being prepared for testing and commercial production.

Platanillo Production Facilities

The expansion of the Platanillo field production facilities has made very good progress. Both 10,000 BO tanks in Platform 9S are currently being hydro-tested before entering service in September. The 10,000 BO tank in Platform 5S is currently 45% completed and is expected to enter service in October of this year. The enhanced surface separation and well lifting equipment is also being installed and will be progressively commissioned over the coming weeks. These changes will enhance the efficiency and flexibility of field operations, delivering even lower lifting costs, increased storage capacity and expanded export capability.
