拉丁美洲石油和天然气勘探、运营商和整合商 GeoPark 已开始在阿根廷里奥内格罗的 Confluencia Norte 区块进行生产。

Confluencia Norte 区块最近完成了其三个非常规油井中的第一个井段，并于 10 月中旬开始生产。这一进展证实了该区块最西端存在 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 6,300 米，横向延伸 3,000 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 4,000 桶/天 (bopd)，目前生产的原油被运输到 Mata Mora Norte Block 设施并通过该设施销售。

这些油井目前仍在清理中，预计将在投产后 90 天内达到峰值产量，凸显了该区块丰富的岩石物理特性，可与马塔莫拉北区块的岩石物理特性相媲美。

GeoPark, a Latin American oil and gas explorer, operator and consolidator, has started production in the Confluencia Norte Block 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 6,300 m, with 3,000 m of lateral extension. A high intensity fracturing program was executed across 135 stages, resulting in a current gross production rate of 4,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) 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.
