(WO) “Canacol Energy Ltd. 提供了有关新 Lulo 1 天然气发现和近期钻探计划的信息。

Lulo 1 探井位于 100% 运营的 VIM21 勘探和生产 (“淓&P”) 合同中，在 Cienaga de Oro (“DO”) 砂岩储层内遇到了 207 英尺的净天然气产层。

Lulo 1 永久连接，并通过位于 50 米外的 Jobo 天然气处理设施进行生产测试，平均产量约为每天 1700 万标准立方英尺（“Mscfpd”），持续 7 天。

该井以 3.9 MMscfpd 至 22.2 MMscfpd 的不同速率进行了测试，节流器在 19/128 至 39/128 英寸之间变化，最终油管压头压力为 2,042 psi，速率为 22.2 MMscfpd，目前正在以受控生产。速率约为 17 MMscfpd。

该公司于 2023 年 5 月 17 日开始钻探 Lulo 2 评价井，预计该井将于 2023 年 5 月结束并投入生产。如果 Lulo 2 证明成功，Lulo 发现井的产量将达到到 2023 年 6 月上旬，总发生率将达到 30 至 40 MMscfpd。

Lulo 2 井完工后，该公司将调动钻机开始钻探 Piina Norte 1 勘探井，该井位于 Jobo 生产设施西南约 300 米处。与 Lulo 一样，Pina Norte 矿区是在中下 CDO 砂岩储层内发现的 5 个勘探矿区之一，非常靠近公司位于 Jobo 的主要生产设施。

如果成功，这些近场勘探前景都可以在发现后几周内提供新的商业生产。该公司预计在 2023 年 7 月中旬之前获得 Piina Norte 1 的结果，随后该公司计划钻探位于 Jobo 生产设施以北约 1 公里处的 Cereza 1 勘探井。

Canacol近期的钻探重点是在即将到来的厄尔尼诺季节之前提高生产能力，以确保加勒比市场的天然气供应充足。

(WO) – Canacol Energy Ltd. provided information concerning the new Lulo 1 gas discovery and near-term drilling plans.

The Lulo 1 exploration well, located on the 100% operated VIM21 Exploration and Production (“E&P”) contract, encountered 207 feet of net gas pay within the Cienaga de Oro (“CDO”) sandstone reservoir.

Lulo 1 was permanently tied in, and production tested through the Jobo gas processing facilities located 50 meters away at an average rate of approximately 17 million standard cubic feet per day (“MMscfpd”) for 7 days.

The well was tested at various rates ranging from 3.9 MMscfpd to 22.2 MMscfpd with the choke varying between 19/128 and 39/128 inches and a final tubing head pressure of 2,042 psi at the rate of 22.2 MMscfpd, and is currently producing at a controlled rate of approximately 17 MMscfpd.

The corporation commenced drilling of the Lulo 2 appraisal well on May 17, 2023, with the well anticipated to be completed and placed on production by the end of May 2023. Should Lulo 2 prove successful, the Lulo discovery will be capable of producing at a total rate of between 30 and 40 MMscfpd by early June 2023.

Upon completion of the Lulo 2 well, the corporation will mobilize the rig to commence drilling of the Piña Norte 1 exploration well, located approximately 300 meters to the southwest of the Jobo production facility. The Piña Norte prospect, like Lulo, is one of 5 exploration prospects identified within the middle to lower CDO sandstone reservoir within very close proximity to the Corporations main production facilities at Jobo.

If successful, these near-field exploration prospects can each provide new commercial production within weeks of discovery. The corporation expects results from Piña Norte 1 by mid-July, 2023, following which the corporation plans to drill the Cereza 1 exploration well located approximately 1 kilometer to the north of the Jobo production facility.

Canacol’s near term drilling focus is to increase productive capacity ahead of the upcoming El Niño season to ensure the adequate supply of natural gas to the Caribbean market.
