7 West Katakolo field as a key case Depth map of the top of Carbonates, showing the WOC and OGC levels, based on 2-D seismic The field was discovered in The producing layers are the Eocene-Upper and Lower Cretaceous carbonates of a paleostructure, unconformably covered by Plio-pleistocene clastic sediments. Estimated resources in place: million bbl of oil and > 40 bcf of gas. West Katakolon oil field has been proven by 3 wells: WK-1, WK-1A and WK-2 ( ) Different production performance had been recorded: In WK-1a gas flowed from two layers in the Gas Cap with flow rates up to 11MMSCFD from each zone. In WK-2 oil flowed from two zones with flow rates between bbl/day each.

12 West Katakolo Field: E&P Program and Main Issues to be solved Studies 1) Seismic reprocessing: Ongoing (delays on data gathering from the ministry) 2) Seismic interpretation: Preliminary interpretation of Existing data (OK) 3) Seismic interpretation of reprocessed data (-) 4) Reservoir studies and Petrophysics (Reservoir evaluation, field reservoir studies, log analysis and analogues). Ongoing 5) Preliminary well design (OK) 6) Preliminary design of production facilities (OK) 7) Oil exporting options (OK) 8) Field development plan. Ongoing Environment and permitting 1) Land acquisition ( ongoing) 2) Archeological ( - ) 3) EBR 1 st phase (OK) 4) EBR 2 nd phase Ongoing 5) EIA (-) 6) DEDDIE (-) APPLICATION FOR EXPLOITATION LICENSE DRILLING : WINTER (January 2017?)

14 Reservoir Studies - Reservoir sampling of potential reservoir analogues Work to be done: Potential reservoir rocks mapping - done Potential reservoir rocks sampling OK Potential reservoir rocks has been analyzed (porosity, permeability)

15 Potential reservoir rocks sampling Eocene limestones samples impregnated with oil Rocks has been analyzed in terms of porosity and permeability properties, whereas oil has been analyzed in terms of geochemical properties, provenance and migration.
