Perenco Colombia has announced the successful drilling of three new development wells in the Paravare and Chaparrito fields, resulting in a substantial oil discovery.
The geoscience team’s detailed seismic data analysis identified new channels rich in oil reserves, marking a significant advance in the company’s production capabilities.
In the Paravare field, where two wells were already operational, the drilling of a third well, PRV-03, was intended to boost production.
With the installation of an electrically submersible centrifugal pump, PRV-03 now produces 500 barrels of oil per day (bopd), contributing to the field’s optimization efforts.
The Chaparrito field has also seen notable success with the drilling of wells CHP-03, CHP-04 and CHP-05, yielding production rates of 2,300 bopd, 3,380 bopd and 550 bopd, respectively.
The successful drilling campaign has covered the entire channel, with the Chaparrito field now accounting for approximately 40% of Perenco Colombia’s total production.
Perenco Colombia’s recent drilling results have exceeded expectations, prompting further reprocessing of seismic data to explore the potential for new channels.
The drilling campaign, carried out during Colombia’s dry season, was a significant achievement and was accomplished in collaboration with local communities.
Perenco Colombia Managing Director Gaël Piardet said: “These discoveries are the result of the hard work and expertise of our teams and underline our investment strategy in Colombia. Our aim is to repeat this success by continuing to process seismic data from other areas in the coming years and drilling two development wells and one exploration well per year.
“The Perenco Group implements strict environmental protection measures and initiatives to support regional economic development. As such, Perenco Colombia is committed to working closely with Colombian authorities and local communities to ensure responsible and beneficial exploitation of the country’s resources.”
