LatAmOil NEWS IN BRIEF LatAmOil

The Tie-5 horizontal well penetrated 240 meter
of Agua Grande (AG) sand and was completed
with a 4.5-inch uncemented pre-perforated liner
to 2,409 metres. A coil tubing unit was used to
clean up and then stimulate the reservoir before
blowing the well dry using nitrogen. An ESP was
run in the hole on 3.5-inch tubing and the well
immediately responded by flowing oil and gas
to surface. The cleanup period resulted in high
gas volumes which are expected to decrease with
time. The ESP is not currently in use due to the
high gas volumes.
Jonas Lindvall, CEO of Maha, commented:
“We are encouraged by the results of Tie-5 and
we are happy to see the Agua Grande flow nat-
urally to surface. Again, the results demonstrate
the quality of the Tie field and the prolific nature
of the Agua Grande reservoir.”
