Repsol realiza “un gran descubrimiento” de gas en PerúRepsol has realised a new discovery of gas in the block 57 in the subandino of the Peru. The sondeo, designated Sagari, resulted successful in two different learnings calls Nia Upper and Nia Inferior. The preliminary estimates allow to anticipate that the discovery could contain some resources of gas from among 1 and 2 TCF (trillones of cubic feet in his acronyms in English). Repsol is the operator of the block with a participation of 53,84%, and Petrobras participates with 46,16% remaining.
The finding of Sagari reinforces the potential of this zone of Peru in which also it situates the field Kinteroni discovered by Repsol, one of the five greater discoveries of the world in 2008, and that at present this in a phase of development accelerated for his put in production to finals of 2012.
The proofs of production, realised to depths from among 2.691 and 2.813 metres, gave like result a flow of 26 million cubic feet of gas with 1.200 barrels of condensed (liquid hydrocarbons) in one of the learnings, and of 24 million cubic feet and 800 barrels of condensed newspapers in the another. Between both proofs have obtained levels of almost 11.000 equivalent barrels of oil by day.
