BPZ Energy provided initial production rates from the Albacora A-27D development well at offshore Block Z-1. The Company holds a 51% participation in Block Z-1 and all referenced well production in this release.

The A-27D well was drilled to a total measured depth of approximately 14,500 feet. For the last 10 days, the well has averaged approximately 1,135 barrels of oil per day (bopd) gross.

For the last 24 hours, the well has averaged production of approximately 905 bopd, 3,700 thousand cubic feet of gas per day and 2 barrels of water per day. Gas is mostly reinjected due to the lack of a local commercial market at this time. The well is producing better than previous recent wells due to additional pay opened in the Lower Zorritos sands.
