Canacol Strikes Gas With Siku-1 in Colombia

Exploratory, development well success in current onshore program.

Canacol field.

Canacol Energy’s Siku-1 exploration well encountered 33 ft true vertical depth of net gas pay with an average porosity of 20% within the primary Cienaga de Oro sandstone reservoir target. The company has completed casing the well and will return with a workover rig in early 2022 to complete and tie the well into permanent production. The well was drilled to a total depth of 8,825 ft.

The rig was mobilized to drill the Clarinete-6 development well, which reached a total depth of 7,478 ft measured depth and encountered 174 ft true vertical depth of net gas pay. The well was tied into the Clarinete production manifold and has been placed on permanent production.

Next up for the rig is the Toronja-2 development well, which is targeting

gas-bearing sandstones within the Porquero sandstone reservoir. Following the completion of that well, the rig will be mobilized to spud the Carambolo-1 exploration well, expected in the second half of February. The well is expected to take 5 weeks to drill and complete.
