Comments
In October 2022, the average daily operated production from fields in Argentina and Colombia combined increased by 212 boepd, an increase of around six percent from September. Most of this increment comes from the Argentina operation, +207 boepd, whereas the Colombia operation increased +5 boepd as explained below.
In Argentina, production at the Santa Cruz operated fields increased, with the Oceano and the Cerro Molino fields accounting for most of it. This is the result of surface work done on the oil surface facilities undertaken last month in Oceano plus paraffins and asphaltenes removal campaign taken in Cerro Molino Field during the early days of October.
In Colombia, Puli C production increased from the previous month, especially in the Mana Field where some chemical injection treatments were performed in Mana Facilities.
In the Llanos area, Vikingo production decreased around 4 bopd from Carbonera 5 formation following its natural depletion rate. The exploration campaign in Altair and LLA-47 blocks remains on hold and pending approval from local authorities. Conversations with the ANH concerning the formal approval process are ongoing.
