Exploration

Colombia is an example of where Perenco undertakes exploration to maximising the value of existing assets.

Perenco operates producing fields, some of which have satellite exploration opportunities. Eleven exploration wells have targeted these satellite structures, which are very high-value due to the proximity of the infrastructure and the short time-frame to bring discoveries into production. A combination of both development and exploration 3D seismic is expected to continue to offer additional exploration opportunities.

Perenco has also been aggressive in new venture exploration, and has successfully accessed the Saman licence in the onshore Lower Magdalena basin with Ecopetrol, which operates the licence. A 160km2 2D seismic programme acquired in 2007 has identified a number of potential targets, and a 270km2 3D programme was acquired to firm up drilling locations. Exploration wells on the Saman licence are planned for 2010.
