Petrobras’ Uchuva-2 appraisal well offshore Colombia has confirmed the extent of the 2022 gas discovery Uchuva-1 well on the Tayrona Block.
Uchuva-2 well was spudded on June 19, 31 km offshore in a water depth of 804 m.
Drilling continues in the five-phase program, with the gas-bearing interval verified at Phase 4 through wireline logging. Laboratory analyses will follow.
Petrobras is operator with a 44.44% interest, in partnership with Ecopetrol (55.56%). The remaining focus will be on drilling the well to the expected depth and characterizing the conditions of the reservoirs encountered, with a probable formation test by the end of the year.
