HOUSTON, Sept. 21 – Petrolifera Petroleum Ltd. completed a 21-day extended production test at the Brillante SE-1X well on its 100% owned Sierra Nevada license in Colombia’s Upper Magdalena basin.

The upper part of the Cienaga de Oro reservoir flowed 3.1 MMscfd of gas, 19 bbl of condensate, and 1.1 bbl of water in the final 24 hr. No pressure decline was observed; flowing wellhead pressure increased from 1,016 psi to 1,055 psi, and gas production rose to 3.1 MMscfd from 3 MMscfd.

Recovery totaled 66 MMscf of gas, 284 bbl of 57.3° gravity condensate, and 28 bbl of water.

Management plans to implement an early production scheme that will allow for the production and sale of modest amounts of natural gas until a full development is completed.
