GeoPark Limited has announced the successful drilling and testing of the Tigana 4 development well in Tigana oil field in the Llanos 34 Block in Colombia. GeoPark drilled and completed the Tigana 4 well to a total depth of 11,150 ft. A test conducted with an electric submersible pump in the Guadalupe formation resulted in a production rate of approximately 3,200 barrels of oil per day (bopd) of 15.3 degrees API, with less than 1% water cut, through a choke of 44/64 mm, and wellhead pressure of 100 psi. Surface facilities are in place and the well is already in production.
Tigana oil field, discovered by GeoPark in December 2013, has a current production rate of approximately 15,000 bopd gross from eight wells that have produced over 10 million barrels of oil to date. GeoPark is currently drilling the Jacana 6 appraisal well to test the southwest extension of the field – and its drilling campaign will continue with two to three additional wells in the Llanos 34 Block before the end of the year.
