Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Touchstone Energy announced results from flowback testing at #1-Cascadura Deep. According to the company, the results confirm a liquids-rich gas discovery on the Ortoire block onshore Trinidad and Tobago. The average flowback rate during the extended 24-hour test period was approximately 4,262 bbl of oil equivalent per day (22.9 MMcf of gas and 449 bbl of 59.5° API NGL). It was tested on a 50/64-inch choke and the flowing tubing pressure was 1,856 psi. Field analysis indicated liquids rich gas with no hydrogen sulfide and no produced water. The well is currently shut-in for a minimum four-week pressure build-up test. The well was drilled to 8,303 ft and it hit a total sand thickness of 2,100 ft in multiple, stacked thrust sheets in the Herrera section. Calgary-based Touchstone has an 80% operating working interest in the well with partner Heritage Petroleum (20%).
