Comments
October production in Colombia and Argentina remained stable from the previous month.
The Vikingo field in Colombia suffered a minor spill on October 30th, following the rupture of an inlet surface pump hose. The rupture was fixed, and remediation work is close to completion. Relevant authorities have been notified.
An employee at the Puli C license in Colombia tested positive for Covid19 on October 28th. The employee, who is in otherwise good health, is currently in quarantine. All close contacts at the Puli C license have tested negative.
Heavy winds in Patagonia temporarily affected the operations of compressors at Oceano, Campo Bremen and Chorrillos licenses in Argentina. The malfunction was fixed quickly, and production resumed as normal.
Average daily production in November will not be visibly affected by these events.
