Echo Energy PLC, a UK company focused on Latin America, announced CSo-2001(d) well in an Argentina drilling campaign encountered what company executives are calling “a notable gas column,” with initial results indicating wet gas.
The CSo-2001(d) well, in the Fraccion D license operated by Compania General de Combustibles SA, reached 1,511 m TD in the Upper Jurassic Tobifera formation across which extensive gas and light hydrocarbon shows were recorded.
The well encountered more than 60 m of gas shows through the Upper Tobífera with gas peaks of over 168,000 ppm. Preliminary wireline log evaluation indicates around 30 m of potential net pay at 1,272-1,304 m.
Echo Energy plans to run a final production casing before completion and testing using the Quintana 01 rig.
