SIMITI FORMATION TEST - RIG MOBILISATION
Global Energy Development PLC, the Latin America focused
petroleum exploration, development and production company (AIM:
GED) with operations in Colombia, announces that the rig
mobilisation has commenced to the Catalina #1 well in the Company's
Bolivar Association Contract ("Bolivar Contract") located in the
northern section of the Magdalena Valley in Colombia, South
America.
The workover rig is being transferred from the central Magdalena
Valley area and the rigging up of all existing equipment is
expected to be completed over a seven day period, with key new
equipment expected to be ready for shipment from Houston, USA. to
Colombia shortly. The transferal process involves the removal of
existing production equipment from the wellbore and the
installation of surface pressure control equipment and production
tubing suitable for use in high pressure operating conditions,
after which the workover rig will then be demobilised and removed
from the location. After all surface equipment is installed and
pressure tested, stimulation of the Simiti will then proceed with
initial testing results expected in July.
Stephen C. Voss, Managing Director of Global commented,
"Following an extensive period of planning and equipment
preparation, the Company is about to undertake its first
stimulation test of one of the five Bolivar block productive
horizons that form the basis of our year-end 2013 reserve report.
The Simiti test is focused on conventional sandstone sections that
are known to be productive producers to the south of our Bolivar
Block acreage. The Company is hopeful that with modern stimulation
techniques, the flow rates achieved nearby in the same formation
can be enhanced in our Catalina 1 well-Simiti Test."
