GeoPark Ltd 是一家拉丁美洲独立的石油和天然气勘探、运营商和整合商，该公司宣布成功开始在阿根廷里奥内格罗的 Confluencia Norte 区块（GeoPark 未运营，占 50%）进行生产。
Confluencia Norte 区块最近完成了其三个非常规油井的第一个平台，这些油井于 10 月中旬开始生产。这一发展证实了该区块最西边存在 Vaca Muerta 地层。该平台包括一口专门为数据采集而钻探的垂直试验井，以及三口水平井，总测量深度达到 6300 米，横向延伸 3000 米。高强度压裂计划分 135 个阶段实施，在正在进行的回流和油井测试阶段，目前总产量为 4000 桶/天，目前生产的产品被运输到 Mata Mora Norte 区块设施并通过该设施销售。这些油井仍在清理中，预计将在生产开始后的 90 天内达到峰值产量，凸显了该区块丰富的岩石物理特性，这些特性与 Mata Mora Norte 区块（GeoPark 未运营，45% WI）的岩石物理特性相当。
作为其在 Confluencia Norte 和 Sur 区块勘探承诺的一部分，PGR 已完成 228 平方千米 3D 地震数据的采集，目前正在进行解释。这些数据对于确定即将进行的钻探计划至关重要，其中包括 PGR 将作为其承诺的一部分钻探的另外四口井。PGR 和 GeoPark 正在密切合作，以扩大这些资产的勘探和开发。
GeoPark 首席执行官 Andres Ocampo 表示：“里奥内格罗省 Confluencia Norte 区块投产是一个重要的里程碑，标志着我们在瓦卡穆埃尔塔取得的首个重大勘探成果，并验证了我们进入这个世界级盆地的巨大潜力。这一成功展示了我们与 Phoenix Global Resources 的合作伙伴关系的强大实力，以及我们在运营、技术和财务方面的专长的强大组合。我们将共同致力于系统地降低风险并释放瓦卡穆埃尔塔的丰富资源，为我们的股东和利益相关者创造巨大的长期价值。”
GeoPark Ltd, an independent Latin American oil and gas explorer, operator, and consolidator, has announced the successful start of production in the Confluencia Norte Block (GeoPark non-operated, 50% WI) in Rio Negro, Argentina.
The Confluencia Norte Block recently completed its first pad of three unconventional wells, which began production in mid-October. This development confirms the presence of the Vaca Muerta formation at the westernmost edge of the block. The pad includes a vertical pilot well, drilled specifically for data acquisition, along with three horizontal wells reaching a total measured depth of 6300 m, with 3000 m of lateral extension. A high intensity fracturing program was executed across 135 stages, resulting in a current gross production rate of 4000 bpd during the ongoing flowback and well testing phase, with production currently being transported to and marketed through The Mata Mora Norte Block facility. The wells are still cleaning up and are expected to reach their peak production within 90 days of the production start, highlighting the block’s rich petrophysical properties, which are comparable to those found in the Mata Mora Norte Block (GeoPark non-operated, 45% WI).
As part of its exploration commitment in the Confluencia Norte and Sur blocks, PGR has completed the acquisition of 228 km² of 3D seismic data, which is currently undergoing interpretation. This data will be crucial in defining the upcoming drilling program, which includes a further four wells that PGR will drill as part of its commitment. PGR and GeoPark are working closely to expand the exploration and development of these assets.
Andrés Ocampo, Chief Executive Officer of GeoPark, said: “The start of production at The Confluencia Norte Block in Rio Negro Province is a significant milestone, marking our first major exploration achievement in Vaca Muerta and validating the immense potential that underpinned our entry into this world-class basin. This success showcases the strength of our partnership with Phoenix Global Resources and the powerful combination of our operational, technical, and financial expertise. Together, we are committed to systematically de-risking and unlocking the vast resources in Vaca Muerta, creating substantial long-term value for our shareholders and stakeholders.”
