BPZ Energy provided initial production rates from the Corvina CX15-14D development well completed in early December. The well was drilled to a total measured depth of 7,845 feet and completed in six weeks. For the last 10 days, the well has averaged approximately 600 bopd, or 306 bopd net to BPZ. For the last 24 hours, the well has averaged 645 bopd, or 329 bopd net to BPZ.

The CX15-14D well is located to the west of the six previously drilled CX-15 wells. The well encountered continuity of sands and higher reservoir pressures, as expected. Following this reservoir trend, the CX15-8D development well spud on December 11 and targets an area southwest of the CX15-14D. Estimated total measured depth of this new well is 9,600 feet which will target the Upper Zorritos formation where sands from other Corvina wells are producing, as well as evaluate the potential of the deeper Middle Zorritos. The CX15-8D well results are expected in February 2015.
