GeoPark is reporting that the company drilled and completed the Jacana 6 appraisal well to a total depth of 11,684 feet.

A test conducted with an electric submersible pump in the Guadalupe formation, across multiple sand units, resulted in a production rate of approximately 1,800 bpd of 16 degrees API, with a 17% water cut, through a choke of 38/64 mm and wellhead pressure of 80 pounds per square inch.

Additional selective interval testing and production history are required to determine the stabilized flow rate and water cut source. Surface facilities are in place and the well is already in production.

The Jacana 6 well was drilled to test the western limits of the field and is located approximately 1.7 km southwest of the successful Jacana 5 appraisal well which extended the northwest field boundaries and continues to produce at approximately 3,600 bopd with less than 1% water cut (at a formation depth approximately 50 feet down dip of the Jacana 6 well).

Discovery in 2015

The successful appraisal drilling in the Jacana Field this year has substantially increased the field size, as well as, grown field production to over 13,000 bopd gross from six wells.

DeGolyer & MacNaughton, the independent reserve engineering firm, is currently evaluating information to issue an updated reserve certification as of December 2016 (expected to be released in February 2017).
