Después de un cierto éxito ... PREOCUPACIONES DE SEGURIDAD
DETENER JAGUAR-1 SOCIOS DE PERFORACIÓN DE ACEITE

-Gov't apoya alto
- Acciones de CGX, Repsol y Tullow
Las compañías petroleras involucradas en la perforación de
Jaguar-1, 107 millas de distancia de la ciudad en el bloque Georgetown, cerca
de la frontera con Surinam, anunció ayer que se habían detenido las operaciones
por motivos de seguridad.
Se suspendió la exploración a una profundidad de 4.867
metros, aproximadamente el 75 por ciento de los 6.477 metros dirigidos, que
habían sido establecidas antes de la patata en febrero y abandonó el agujero se
va a tope, dijeron las autoridades.
La decisión de dejar, en este punto, se acordó por unanimidad
por todos los socios después de que se comprobó que los límites de presión de
diseño de seguridad en el lugar se encontraban en peligro de ser superado.
Los que participan en la asociación, de los cuales Jaguar-1
es una parte, son Repsol Exploración SA (15%), como operador; YPF Guyana,
Limited (30 por ciento), Tullow Oil plc (30 por ciento) y CGX Resources Inc.
(25 por ciento ).
Un funcionario de Tullow, dijo que el pozo, que estaba siendo
perforado por cinco meses, se le impidió ir más profundo, ya que no podía
manejar los altos niveles de presión encontradas.
Fue una "alta presión, alta temperatura" de tipo,
al igual que BP, que causó una explosión en el Golfo de México en 2010 y
condujo a la peor derrame de petróleo en alta mar en la historia de EE.UU.,
dijo.
Un funcionario dijo que CGX, mientras que el principal
"a finales del Cretácico 'geológico zona no se ha alcanzado, las muestras
de aceite de la luz eran, con éxito, se recuperó de dos arenas turbiditas.
El presidente director general de Kerry Sully, dijo:
"Sobre la base de hidrocarburos recuperados durante la perforación de
Jaguar-1, CGX confía en que un nuevo pozo, apuntando a la misma perspectiva que
suponen una promesa importante y, por tanto, se comprometió a buscar una nueva
perforación, utilizando un nuevo diseño también. "
Al comentar sobre los planes de su compañía en la Cuenca de
Guyana / Surinam, CGX Presidente Dr. Suresh Narine reiteró los objetivos a
corto plazo de CGX, diciendo: "Además de nuestro compromiso y en el bloque
Corentyne, estamos planeando un programa de sísmica 3D, a finales de este año,
con el objetivo final es que se comprometan a una plataforma para un programa de
tres hasta cinco pozos ".
"Sumado a esto, sería la re-perforación de la meta del
Cretácico Superior dirigida por el Jaguar-1," explicó el Dr. Narine.
GOBIERNO APOYA HALT
Mientras tanto, el día de ayer el gobierno dijo que está en
pleno apoyo de la decisión de la petrolera local exploradores Tullow, Repsol y
Energía CGX Incorporated para poner fin a sus actividades de perforación en la
cara de las preocupaciones de seguridad.
El Ministerio de Recursos Naturales y Medio Ambiente, en un
comunicado, dijo que el Gobierno acepta la decisión del consorcio para cerrar
las operaciones, la seguridad es la consideración primordial a que después de
haber sido informado oficialmente el domingo.
La perforación de Jaguar n º 1 se estima que se completará en
aproximadamente seis meses y el progreso con el bien se mantuvo estable. Sin
embargo, las condiciones de fondo de pozo se convirtió en un gran reto y, a
pesar del recurso a soluciones técnicas y de ingeniería por parte del
consorcio, el Gobierno acepta la decisión del consorcio para cerrar las
operaciones, la seguridad es la consideración primordial.
"La Geología y Minas de Guyana Comisión ha recibido el
mandato de trabajar con todas las partes relacionadas en un análisis completo y
determinaciones de la información recopilada hasta el momento. Pero la
evidencia de los sucesos derivados del petróleo se encontró que estaban
animando a todas las partes ", dijo el ministerio.
Se dijo que el Gobierno y el operador del consorcio, Repsol,
siguen llevando a cabo en el camino a seguir, que podría incluir un segundo
pozo para alcanzar el objetivo previsto del Jaguar n º 1. "Estas
discusiones han comenzado, ya que es nuestra intención de ver un reinicio
temprano de la perforación de exploración temprana de todas las partes aprobadas",
dijo el ministerio.
After some
success… SAFETY CONCERNS STOP JAGUAR-1 PARTNERS FROM OIL DRILLING

THE oil
companies involved in drilling Jaguar-1 well, 107 miles away from the city in
the Georgetown Block near the border with Suriname, announced yesterday, that
they had stopped operations due to safety considerations.
They
discontinued the exploration at a depth of 4,867 meters, approximately 75
percent of the targeted 6,477 meters, which had been stated before the spud in
February and the abandoned hole is to be capped, officials said.
The decision
to stop, at this point, was unanimously agreed to by all partners after it was
found that the safe pressure design limits at the site were in danger of being
exceeded.
Those involved in the partnership, of which Jaguar-1 is a part, are Repsol Exploración S.A. (15%), as operator; YPF Guyana Limited (30 percent); Tullow Oil plc (30 percent) and CGX Resources Inc. (25 percent).

An official
of Tullow said that the well, which was being drilled for five months, was
prevented from going deeper because it could not handle the high levels of
pressure encountered.
It was a
“high pressure, high temperature” type, the same as BP's which caused an
explosion in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010 and led to the worst offshore oil spill
in U.S. history, he said.
A CGX
official said that whilst the primary ‘late cretaceous’ geologic zone was not
reached, samples of light oil were, successfully, recovered from two turbidite
sands.
CEO President Kerry Sully said: “Based on hydrocarbons recovered during the drilling of Jaguar-1, CGX is confident that a new well, targeting the same prospect would hold significant promise and is, therefore, committed to seek a re-drill, utilising a new well design."

Commenting on
his company's plans in the Guyana/Suriname Basin, CGX Chairman Dr. Suresh
Narine reiterated the near term goals of CGX, stating: “In addition to our
commitment well on the Corentyne Block, we are planning a 3D seismic programme,
later this year, with our ultimate goal being to commit to a rig for a three to
five wells programme.”
“Added to
this, would be the re-drill of the Late Cretaceous target addressed by the
Jaguar-1 well,” Dr. Narine explained.
GOV’T SUPPORTS HALT
GOV’T SUPPORTS HALT
Meanwhile,
the government yesterday said it is in full support of the decision by local
oil explorers Tullow, Repsol and CGX Energy Incorporated to halt its drilling
activities in face of safety concerns.
The Ministry
of Natural Resources and the Environment, in a release, said Government accepts
the consortium’s decision to close operations, safety being the primary
consideration after it was officially informed on Sunday.
The drilling of Jaguar #1 was estimated to be completed in approximately six months and progress with the well was steady. However, down-hole conditions became very challenging and despite the resort to technical and engineering solutions by the consortium, Government accepts the consortium’s decision to close operations, safety being the primary consideration.

“The Guyana
Geology and Mines Commission has been mandated to work with all related parties
on a full analysis and determinations from information gathered so far. But evidence
of petroleum occurrences was encountered, which were encouraging to all the
parties,” the ministry said.
It said Government and operator for the consortium, Repsol, continue to be engaged on the way forward, which could include a second well to achieve the intended objective of the Jaguar #1. “These discussions have started as it is our intention to see an early restart of early exploration drilling by all the approved parties,” the ministry stated.
