Drilling Activity Summary
Description
GeoPark announced results from an exploration well in Fell Block in Chile’s Magallanes Basin. The well, #1-Uaken, was drilled to 3,658 ft. A production test of El Salto flowed 800 Mcf of gas per day with a wellhead pressure of 158 psi. According to Calgary-based GeoPark, the Uaken gas field creates a new gas play across Fell Block that can be tested in identified leads and prospects. In addition, there are multiple wells in already discovered oil and gas fields within Fell Block that can be re-entered to test this formation.
