Petrolifera tops up Puesto Morales flows



By Upstream staff 

Canada’s Petrolifera Petroleum said it had flowed light crude at a rate of 2000 barrels per day from the RN.PM a-1061 well on the Puesto Morales block in Argentina’s Neuquen basin during testing of perforations in the upper part of the Sierra Blancas formation.

The company said the well flowed at 1324 bpd with no water during production yesterday through the same 18-millimetre choke used in the test.

Petrolifera said last week it had flowed 1490 bpd through the same choke from perforation in the lower part of the formation, giving the well total daily production of more than 8200 bpd.

The oil was produced from a 17-metre interval in the formation, Petrolifera said.

Petrolifera also said it had received an environmental impace assessment allowing it to press ahead with an 800-kilometre seismic programme on Peru’s Ucayali Block 107.
