PetroTal (TAL) has completed its 8H horizontal well with the production of nearly 8,000 barrels of oil per day.
PetroTal commenced production of 8H, its fourth horizontal well, on September 4, 2021, with unrestricted flow rates of 7,600 bopd over a ten-day period.
The well came in 3 per cent under budget and has an estimated payout of 8-10 weeks of production based on the current Brent oil strip, assuming unrestricted rates.
PetroTal achieved the record field production due to the ONP being operational again, allowing the company to unload 140-thousand barrels of oil stored in barges at Pump Station No.1.
Total current field production is now approximately 15,400 bopd, surpassing the Bretana oil field’s 2019 high watermark.
Manuel Pablo Zuniga-Pflucker, PetroTal’s President and CEO, stated, “The initial flow rates from well 8H are very exciting and echo the profile of the prolific 5H horizontal well. Similarly, the clean sands of the 8H well reflect what we have observed in the recently drilled 7D well and the cores obtained in the 3WD water disposal well.”
“Over the next few weeks, we expect to commence drilling the next horizontal well (BN-9H) in our 2021 campaign,” added Zuniga-Pflucker.
PetroTal is an oil and gas development and production company focused on assets in Peru.
PetroTal (TAL) is up by 11.94 per cent and is currently trading at $0.375 as of 11:22 am ET.
