Guatemala Update
uatemala Update - Improved Oil Production Rate of Atzam #4 well
Range Resources Limited ("Range" or "the Company") would like to
draw attention to the announcement released by Citation Resources Limited
(ASX:CTR) on the Atzam #4 Well in Guatemala with the following highlights:
- Atzam #4 well producing at an improved flow rate of 140 bopd on
the same restricted 8/64ths choke from the Upper C17 carbonate section
(2,846-2,853ft)
- Production currently on a restricted 8/64ths choke due to limited
onsite storage tank capacity, until off take contracts in place
- Current flow rate of approximately 140 bopd with a well head
flowing pressure of 360 psi, 38° API oil and no water production
- Operator estimated a flow rate in-excess of 1,000 bopd on an open
choke based on flow rates achieved from various choke sizes up to 32/64ths
since initial production
- Limited onsite storage tank capacity of 7,000 barrels, with over
4,000 barrels produced from Atzam #4 ready for immediate sale
- Negotiations advancing with potential off take parties for
current and future Atzam oil production
- Atzam #4 independent reserve report due shortly- expected upgrade of
initial report with Probable Reserve estimate of 2.3m barrels of oil
based on logging data
- Significant upside potential remains in Atzam #4 untested sections- 13ft
zone in Upper C17 with better logs than current producing zone, and the
C13 and C14 carbonate sections- all yet to be perforated and tested,
to be done in future well operations
- Plans advanced for spudding Atzam #5 in September quarter 2013
