8 月 12 日， Gran Tierra Energy  Inc. 宣布，在继续勘探 Oriente 和 Putumayo 盆地的同时，该公司在厄瓜多尔 Charapa 区块的 Charapa-B6 井又发现了石油。

该发现位于 Chanangue 区块最近发现的 Arawana-J1 井和 Bocachico Norte-J1 井以西。

Gran Tierra 下入生产套管，对油藏 50 多英尺深处的 Hollin 油区进行固井和穿孔，并开始生产测试。

喷射泵投入运行，油井在 53 小时内以稳定的速率生产出 2,118 桶/天、28.2° API 重力油、含水量 2.2% 以及每桶储罐气油比为 21 标准立方英尺。

Charapa-B6 是自 2022 年 Charapa-B5 井钻探以来在 Charapa 区块钻探的第一口勘探井。迄今为止，Charapa-B5 井的产量已超过 280,000 桶。

这是 Gran Tierra 在 2024 年发现的第三个石油，也是其在厄瓜多尔发现的第五个石油。根据 Gran 的新闻稿，该公司将继续利用 Charapa 和 Chanangue 区块内剩余的勘探机会。

该钻井平台还被转移到钻探Charapa-B7勘探井，该井于8月9日开钻。

Gran Tierra Energy Inc. made another oil discovery at its Charapa-B6 well in Ecuador’s Charapa Block as the company continues to explore the Oriente and Putumayo basins, the company announced Aug. 12.

The discovery is located west of the recently discovered Arawana-J1 and Bocachico Norte-J1 wells on the Chanangue Block.

Gran Tierra ran production casing, cemented and perforated the Hollin oil zone at over 50 ft of reservoir and began production testing.

A jet pump was run and the well produced at stabilized rates over 53 hours at 2,118 bbl/d, 28.2° API gravity oil, a 2.2% water cut and a gas-oil ratio of 21 scf per stock tank barrel.

Charapa-B6 is the first exploration well drilled in the Charapa Block since the Charapa-B5 well was drilled in 2022. Charapa-B5 has produced over 280,000 bbl to date.

This is Gran Tierra’s third oil discovery in 2024 and its fifth discovery in Ecuador. The company continues to take advantage of the exploration opportunities that remain within both the Charapa and Chanangue blocks, according to Gran’s press release.

The rig was also moved to drill the Charapa-B7 exploration well, which was spud on Aug. 9.
