Comments
As mentioned in the previous production report, average daily production for January 2021 was slightly reduced due to mechanical failure of equipment in several wells at the Puli C field in Colombia. Repair work is underway. It is still uncertain exactly when production may resume.
The one field worker that was quarantined with mild covid-19 symptoms in January is now out of quarantine. No new infections have been reported since.
Preparations for drilling of the commitment well on the Altair license continues. According to current licence terms this well should be drilled by April 2021. Conversations are continuing with potential farm-in partners for the drilling programme in LLA-47.
At the Vikingo site, topsoil replacement is underway, but not yet completed. This does not affect production at the field.
