Ecopetrol Discovered in Putumayo
Ecopetrol of Colombia discovered oil at the Quriyana-1 well, located in the municipality of Orito, province of Putumayo, Colombia. This will perhaps be providing expanded hopes of adding more oil resources for local and world utilization and needs. Ecopetrol began drilling into the Quriyana-1 exploratory well on November 5, 2008 and reached a total depth of 8.445 feet (nearly 2.5 kilometers) in the first week of February 2009.
The initial tests showed a production of API 26 degrees crude in natural flow and a choke (well opening) of 20/64 inches. The lower Caballos formation contributed an average stable flow of 96 oil barrels per day (bpd) and the upper sandstones produced an average stable flow of 195 barrels per day
In the next few weeks, Ecopetrol will analyze the results obtained and will continue evaluating the behaviour of production and pressure in this well. It is important to note that this well is located near many other Ecopetrol production fields, which could help bring the well on stream in the short term.
