Petroamerica Oil Corp. has started appraisal drilling at its La Casona discovery on the El Eden Block in the Llanos Basin of Colombia. The La Casona-2 appraisal well was spud on May 30, 2013 and is targeting the Gacheta and Une Formations that tested light oil and gas in the La Casona-1 discovery well, and will evaluate the Mirador Formation which was not flow tested at La Casona-1.
The well is expected to be drilled to a target depth of approximately 16,000 feet and is expected to take approximately 60 days to drill and complete. Upon completion of drilling operations at the La Casona-2 well, the drilling rig is expected to mobilise and drill the Rumi-1 exploration well on the same block.
The construction of the long-term test facility, including gas compression, at La Casona-1 is underway and it is anticipated that the La Casona-1 well will be placed on long-term production test towards the end of the third quarter of this year.
