Interoil’s total daily average operated production in March increased by 135 boepd compared with February. The increase is mainly coming from fields in Argentina whereas Colombia reduced its operated production.
In Argentina, the operated production increased by 165 boepd, as the arrival of some spare parts for gas compressors have allowed more output to the Santa Cruz assets. Further The reopening pulling program in the Santa Cruz shut-in wells is still progress. In Mata Magallanes Oeste (MMO), the monthly average production reached 35 bopd, a reduction from February figures due to some producing wells waiting for the arrival of some spare parts.
In Colombia, production in Puli C increased by 6 boepd as some wells have been treated with chemical to compensate production reduction in some wells in Mana, Rio Opia and Ambrosia. In the same line, the Vikingo production experienced a production reduction of around 35 bopd as its downhole equipment might be experiencing an accelerated worn-out due to its current working parameters.
