Petrominerales Tests Yenac-2 Well

Petrobank Energy and Resources’ subsidiary Petrominerales has successfully tested its Yenac-2 well in the Casimena block of Central Llanos, Colombia.

During the test, the well flowed at a rate of 2,936 barrels of oil per day (bopd).

The Mirador formation in Yenac-2 was penetrated 25ft higher than encountered in Yenac-1 and showed 48ft of potential net pay in the well compared with 42ft in Yenac-1.

Testing was completed on two of four planned intervals in the Mirador formation.

The first Upper Mirador interval resulted in production of 80bopd of heavy 10° API oil and the second Upper Mirador interval production tested at 2,936bopd of 17° API oil with a 4% water cut.

Based on the results, the firm decided to defer testing the remaining Mirador sands and the well was placed on an extended production test.
