Arrow Exploration Announces Re-Start of Production from the RCE-1 Well on the Tapir Block
09 December 2020 - 6:42AM
ARROW Exploration Corp. (“Arrow” or the “Company”) (TSXV: AXL) and
Petrolco S.A. (“Petrolco”), the Company’s partner on the Tapir
Block in the Llanos Basin, are pleased to announce the re-start of
oil production from the Rio Cravo Este-1 (“RCE-1”) well.
The partners agreed to re-start production from
RCE-1 due to the increased prices of Brent crude oil and following
negotiations with certain vendors to lower field operating costs
related to RCE-1. The agreement to re-start production was entered
into on December 1st, 2020 between Samaria Llanos Exploration
(“Samaria”), an indirect subsidiary of Arrow, and Petrolco.
Production resumed on December 5th, 2020.
As of December 7th, 2020, RCE-1 was producing at
a rate of approximately 443 barrels of oil per day (221.5 barrels
of oil per day, net to Arrow) of 28.50 API crude at a 71.4% water
cut. Effective December 4th, 2020, Samaria entered into an off-take
agreement with Frontera Energy Colombia Corp. (“Frontera”) with
respect to oil production from the Tapir Block.
The re-start of production from RCE-1 is
expected to provide Arrow with additional cash flow to help support
the Company’s operations going forward. The Company has
historically experienced some of its highest netback production
from RCE-1, in light of the comparatively lower per barrel field
operating costs on the Tapir Block.
About ARROW Exploration
Arrow Exploration Corp. (operating in Colombia
via a branch of its 100% owned subsidiary Carrao Energy S.A.) is a
publicly-traded company with a portfolio of premier Colombian oil
assets that are under-exploited, under-explored and offer high
potential growth. The Company’s business plan is to expand oil
production from some of Colombia’s most active basins, including
the Llanos, Middle Magdalena Valley (MMV) and Putumayo Basin. The
asset base is predominantly operated with high working interests,
and the Brent-linked light oil pricing exposure combines with low
royalties to yield attractive potential operating margins. Arrow’s
50% interest in the Tapir Block is contingent on the assignment by
Ecopetrol SA of such interest to Arrow. Arrow’s seasoned team is
led by a hands-on executive team supported by an experienced board.
Arrow is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol
“AXL”.
